Reading what's written on the wall
it's showing what I could have been.
Breathing out; breathing in,
I'm sure this isn't who I am.

Hey, go down
take a look at who's around.
Find that it doesn't help you in any way,
for no reason. This is why you stay.

You am, I are
upside down, turn it 'round
make it ok,
and find a real reason to stay.
