Song in My Head

There's a song in my head
Oh, a line that never stops playing
I'm not sure how it ends
I can't remember when I heard what you were saying

I'll make the best out of the worst
I'll make up half the words and wear a t-shirt of a band I've never heard
Because it hurts to be on the outside looking in

Well, I do my best to listen
But I'm uncomfortable with too much silence
From the passenger seat you said, "What does that mean?"
I said "I'm learning to live with the violence, violence"
But I'm not the kind that

Wants to be lost
I don't want to be forgotten
I don't want to pretend
That it's alright
I want to see these walls
Crumble and dissolve around me

I got my golden diploma wearing a square crown
The Class of '14 wore their capes like a reverend's gown
All that education won't help us now
Attending funerals and watching friends break their vows

But there's not much that I can protect
So I keep my good humor alive
Nothing disturbs your intellect
Like feeling something you can't deny
Justified

Well, I don't want to be lost
I don't want to be forgotten
I don't want to pretend
That it's alright
I want to see these walls
Crumble and dissolve around me

Saturday morning, 11 a.m.
Heard mom and dad talking money again
Fit a seven-person family in a five-seater van
I guess all you can do is the best that you can
Dad pushed it all down like the Gibson in his hand
To finish that song that never had an end
I could still hear that song
In my head
In my head (in my head)

Information, education, given in love
Questions digest like sugar in my blood
Holding together what's meant to fall apart
Justify a reason for the way things are
Well, I don't want to be lost
I don't want to be forgotten
I've got reason to believe
That I just might
One day see these walls
Crumble and dissolve around me

I'm not afraid, not afraid to lose
It's a voice that I can't refuse
Maybe I don't have the right to choose when it calls my name
