lyrics
I’m a rebel in my mind
Just last spring when i cut my hair
I started to feel a difference
I didn’t realize the variation
Till I was knee deep in
It’s like breathing underwater
Choking on air
Chained to the floor of the ocean
But no one can hear
I keep changing my mind
I do it all the time
But no one can hear
I’ve been told don’t race against the tide
But maybe I could try
To brave the waters just in time
I was torched inside
By a fire with no name
but the more I kicked
The more I’d drown in the flames
And everyone around me
Could hear me scream
But no one knew how to help me
Or take away the pain
Like I was put into a box
And shipped away from everyone
And everything I ever loved
It’s like breathing underwater
Choking on air
Chained to the floor of the ocean
But no one can hear
I keep changing my mind
I do it all the time
But no one can hear
I’ve been told don’t race against the tide
But maybe I could try
To brave the waters just in time
I keep changing my mind
I do it all the time
But no one can hear
I keep changing my mind
I‘m stuck here all the time
But no one comes near
I’ve been told don’t race against the tide
But maybe I could try
To brace the water just in time
And the current will rise
To clear out the landlines
And fill the drought in my mind
And I know I can’t be
Who I wanted to be
I won’t just be anyone
Just last spring when i cut my hair
I started to feel a difference
I didn’t realize the variation
Till I was knee deep in
It’s like breathing underwater
Choking on air
Chained to the floor of the ocean
But no one can hear
I keep changing my mind
I do it all the time
But no one can hear
I’ve been told don’t race against the tide
But maybe I could try
To brave the waters just in time
I was torched inside
By a fire with no name
but the more I kicked
The more I’d drown in the flames
And everyone around me
Could hear me scream
But no one knew how to help me
Or take away the pain
Like I was put into a box
And shipped away from everyone
And everything I ever loved
It’s like breathing underwater
Choking on air
Chained to the floor of the ocean
But no one can hear
I keep changing my mind
I do it all the time
But no one can hear
I’ve been told don’t race against the tide
But maybe I could try
To brave the waters just in time
I keep changing my mind
I do it all the time
But no one can hear
I keep changing my mind
I‘m stuck here all the time
But no one comes near
I’ve been told don’t race against the tide
But maybe I could try
To brace the water just in time
And the current will rise
To clear out the landlines
And fill the drought in my mind
And I know I can’t be
Who I wanted to be
I won’t just be anyone
