lyrics
Save me
I don’t want to stay here
I have had to bury more than you know
All because you refuse to listen
Save me
From the domination
You want me invisible even though
I’m the one making all the difference
Nothing I can do to change your minds
Leaving is the only way sometimes
To live but I still die a little bit inside
Save me
I don’t want to hate you
Every time the words come out of your mouth
Play the part
I know you won’t lose
Nothing I can do to change your minds
Leaving is the only way sometimes
To live but I still die a little bit inside
I’m tired of fighting
For my place, for a place
What else is there to do
When you tell me
Keep your head down
Don’t look up
Say the right thing
Not too much
Nothing is ever enough
Nothing is ever enough
I came in peace
But it cost so much
My heroes go another way
Through shadows
In obscurity
Our present is their history
My heroes
Travel lightly here
As strangers
Walking through my dreams
Conforming is a trivial thing
