I need to believe I'm driving somewhere
I need to believe
I'm some chosen one to step up and take the plate tonight
A life they call, baby, more than ordinary
Another out-of -town freak taking off from the streets
in flight
I need to believe I'll show everybody
That the lights will come into view
Like driving into Vegas
From the golden desert heat
Not just another sad and washed- up wannabe
Running from the debt that's still owed on broken toes
And bloodied feet
I need to believe to breathe
I need to believe to breathe
I need to believe I'll be somebody's reason
I need to believe turning up the volume may just work as all the chatter drowns right down
Not someone by the rules and adept at appeasing
And upon my head a silver safety pin crown
I need to believe to breathe
I need to believe to breathe
Can't be some
messed up,
Closed up
over-the-head fucked up,
Uniformed helper
Smiling through the censor
listen to the beat of my heart and you'll hear thunder,
cried a fucking river and the tide, it pulled me under
Swimming against what's right
Get naked, step outside
I don't hate you but I told you
You wasted all of my time
You'll ask me how I am
But I've left you all behind
Fame it matters to you
When you see that I got mine
