While you do your pretty dance
Overpaid and stuffed with applause
Gather your senses; mine are too loud
For I have a need to grow things indoors.
I'd rather watch you on a screen
From my shadows, in my night
Fighting the disease I caught from the soil
As I'm standing here today, no turning back.

I cannot believe that devil was me.
When I'm feeling low, I do strange things
And I saw the courage of others at the scene
It's harder when it's in front me.
When I had everything, it didn't feel right
The present is all I should keep in my sights
If they burn me in a box, I'll never catch my breath
And when my weakness catches up, I'll be staring at the sky.
