I know a man who is at war with himself
And it's a fight to the death
He doesn't know it yet and he keeps ignorning himself
He's in a terrible mess
And it's all just moving a little too fast to study
So he tries and he tries and he cries out his eyes
But he just can't deny that he's fallin' behind
I know a girl who doesn't know her own worth
She just does what she's told
She's been like this now since a very young age
And she'll be like this when she's old
And it's all just far too big and bold to study
Though she tries and she tries and she cries out her eyes
But she just can't deny that she's fallin' behind
A lightbulb will appear above her head (and all will be revealed)
A lightbulb will appear above her head (and all the wounds will heal)
A lightbulb will appear above her head (and enemies will kneel)
I know a boy who thinks it's time to be a man
And he just doesn't understand
He wants to move forward and by all means he can
But when he wants to move backward he can't
And it's all just moving a little too fast to study
Though he tries and he tries and he cries out his eyes
And he just can't deny that he's fallin' behind
A lightbulb will appear above his head (and all will be revealed)
A lightbulb will appear above his head (and all the wounds will heal)
A lightbulb will appear above his head (and enemies will kneel)
