i don't have to be that bright
to pretend that i'm alright
i don't want me around
and it's true that i want to be fine
i've got feelings in my sight
i've got nothing on my mind
i don't want me around
and it's true that i don't want to lie
i have wisdom in my teeth
i have no means to be seen
i don't think i need to fear
because everything is clear
going backwards in the night
getting farther from the light
needing spaces in my dreams
for the mending in the seams
i don't know
happy people at the mall
with no places they can fall
i don't have an appetite
but i think that i'm alright
reading papers feel the same
getting lost under my name
needing spaces in my dreams
for the mending in the seams
i don't know
