lyrics

Dear world, I'm sorry, but I had to let you know
That I'm through with your illusions, is my life all just for show
You might call me crazy, but it won't be the first time
That I've been made a pariah for not toeing the line

You can say that I'm wrong, but that doesn't make you right
'Cause I don't wanna lose, and I don't wanna fight

You gotta turn on the light! I don't wanna be blind anymore
Turn on the light! 'Cause I wanna see reality
Turn on the light! Is there something that's worth fighting for?
I've pulled the wool from my eyes

It seems so easy, but it gets harder all the time
You think you're miles ahead, but you're lagging far behind
You might think I'm lying, but I try to speak the truth
I've been that way for my whole life, and I'm not gonna change for...

You can say that I'm wrong, but that doesn't make you right
'Cause I don't wanna lose, and I don't wanna fight

You gotta turn on the light! I don't wanna be blind anymore
Turn on the light! 'Cause I wanna see reality
Turn on the light! Is there something that's worth fighting for?
I've pulled the wool from my eyes

You gotta turn on the light! I don't wanna be blind anymore
Turn on the light! 'Cause I wanna see reality
Turn on the light! Is there something that's worth fighting for?
I've pulled the wool from my eyes
