Dinosaur Jones - Free Dumb Lyrics

I don't wanna live on the surface
I just wanna hide in my perfect dreams
They bury me alive when it's worth it
And help me pass the time with a conscious face

Condition me to lies, I don't owe you a thing
Never victimized, what color do you bleed?
Privilege on the outside, comforting
You can't see trauma on the inside obviously

You keep it together when you scream at me
I can't live up to your expectations
Another reason to feel ashamed

Don't push me
Don't fight me
I'm not in control

There's something inside me
Silent but frightening
And I'm not the only one
Who wants to take my freedom

And I don't wanna live under fire
I just wanna confide in the silence
I gave you all I could, but I'm tired
C'mon, push me to the edge of the wire

Contradict yourself, condemn the enemy
No one would even care how you conditioned me
Submit to whoever may the power be
Eat the food and try to keep a smile please

The time is ending
But you can make a friend here
I think we're all pretending
