I wonder who I need to be today
They don't need to change, I'll relate
No matter what you have to say
It'll be okay with me
No need to overcomplicate
So what's on your mind?
'Cause I'm not sure that I know what's on mine
It'll be so much easier
To follow you this time
I'll pretend
That I don't mind
♪
What do I gain from acquiescence
Constant social evanescence?
Armed with my imagination
I forget about contention
Should I be more open
Surrender more emotion?
Why can't everyone be happy
Lost in reverie?
See what I mean?
There's no need to get angry if you close your eyes
It'll be so much easier
To keep it all inside
I'll deny
And avoid the fight
♪
'Cause I see where you're coming from
But it's clear that I can't see right or wrong
I can't decide what side I'm on
When I try to hear my voice, it's gone
I'll ignore the raging war within my soul
To keep the peace
♪
There's a piece of me that knows his name
Every once in a while he'll show his face
And when he does, he'll have something to say
And he'll say it like an anthem
But for now I'll overcompensate to save face
'Cause I see where you're coming from
But it's clear that I can't see right or wrong
I can't decide what side I'm on
When I try to hear my voice it's gone
I'll ignore the raging war within my soul
To keep the peace of mind
She's right in front of my eyes
Or just a lie
It'll be so much easier
To take a walk outside
Save it all for another time
Or never mention it again
♪
I'm calling off the surrender
Awake, oh, sleeper
To keep the peace, I may need to speak up
Wage a war, trust the voice within my soul
To keep the peace
