I don't understand What they want from me They take my hands Washing them in dirty water Try to find what's right In a distant place So far away The silence fills my heart with empty space But now I'm sure of where I'll go from here And tensions rise They push me to divert my vision But I will break the ceiling and the walls that kept me in For all this time And all the reasons that I cannot find They'll wait for me to fall under the pressure They'll wait for me to give it up Well I will not work against the forces I just have to stay above the rushing, the rushing, water I will do my best to keep myself composed It takes a lot not to overload They can't tell me what is right for me I just need peace of mind and my ability No one said that it would be this hard You can't force it but you'll play your part So I will run until I reach the end and who knows where I'll be But all I know is that we'll start again They'll wait for me to fall under the pressure They'll wait for me to give it up Well I will not work against the forces I just have to stay above the rushing, the rushing, water I've got my sights on My sights on a brand new beginning A steady rhythm will hold me to the shore I've got my sights on My sights on a brand new beginning A steady rhythm will hold me to the shore
