Turn me on and face me to the world    Back me up far enough    So I can watch and learn how I'm supposed to be    Through these eyes in my head    Life begins the wheels start to spin around       Don't live in fantasies    Just be on your way    Here's a list of all your priorities    Make us proud to say:    We're the parents of a good machine    Keep your eyes straight ahead    Take your vitamins like we said    You'll be fine    I guess your first test is to see how you can fit in       Finally I feel like I'm alive    I was nothing but a dream in disguise    I was silent before now I finally get to say    How I see it all so strange    My destiny is on a timeline with fate    Let me dream awhile    For the chance of a life to be       Nine to five now systems overload    Just trying to get by living in the mode:    Work first then find the time    To drink it away    To try and hide depressions of my days    Now I'm fine    But the dirt in my ale is at the bottom of every pint       Finally I feel like I'm alive    I was dying on the inside out    I was silent today now I finally get to say    How I've been feeling so strange    I've been dancing on a wire with fate    They can cramp my style but they can't take it away       Finally I feel like I'm alive    I was dying on the inside out    I was silent for years now I finally get to say    How I've been feeling so strange    I've been dancing on a wire with fate    They can cramp my style    But they can't take it away
