Thought I could fake this thing alright   Thought it could somehow get me by   Watching the doctors as they slide   Needles into my eye      Thought I could finally get around   Laughable symptoms keep me down   Faces I see, all keep me blind   And now they're redemption's mine      Now that I can't exchange actions for words   Now that I found these inside fears the worst   Now that I know, there's no place left to hide   Can I become all I thought I might?      As the leaders who follow the path of whoever was standing round them   Call to say what I'm missing and into a detail, they always go   Don't believe them but offer condolences under the circumstances   All too often, I'm missing the spirit to fit in, so call me out   Call me out      Thought I could soundly sleep tonight   Positive clear and breathing right   Panic attacks, panic attacks me now   Seems like a fair redemption      Now that I can't exchange actions for words   Now that I found these inside fears the worst   Now that I know, there's no place left to hide   Can I become all I thought, I might?      As the leaders who follow the path of whoever was standing round them   Call to say what I'm missing and into a detail, they always go   Don't believe them but offer condolences under the circumstances   All too often, I'm missing the spirit to fit in, so call me out   Call me out      Now that I can't exchange actions for words   Now that I found these inside fears the worst   Now that I know, there's no place left to hide   Can I become all I thought, I might?      As the leaders who follow the path of whoever was standing round them   Call to say what I'm missing and into a detail they always go   Don't believe them but offer condolences under the circumstances   All too often, I'm missing the spirit to fit in, so call me out   Call me out again      Thought I could fake this thing alright   Thought it could somehow get me by   Watching the doctors as they try   Slipping a needle in my eye      My eye   A needle in my eye   My eye   A needle in my eye
