lyrics

Well I was awake for the start of your coming undone, but I stuck around to see who you'd become. Who'd you become?

Another four months of another full year that I lay awake. I've made your mistakes, and its all because of you that I'm not who I want to be.

Behind these four walls I'm not who you want to be. You pledge your allegiance to society, but I made other plans. I haven't lost hope, and I can't turn into the shadow of your ghost.

Because it's not like the movies, it's not like a game and I don't think the both of us should be the one's to blame. It's all because of who you wanted me to be, to represent society.

I'm doing just fine around here, I'll be out of your way tonight. And I'm doing just fine right here, so blow out the candles and turn down the lights. I'm doing alright around here, I'll be out of your way tonight. And I'm doing just fine right here, so blow out the candles and turn out the lights tonight.

I won't be your ghost.
