i live underground
sheltered by the weight
that feeling of almost safe
bringing up hope
shoveling down
holding the things i’ve found

so i’ll take
what is known
and i’ll wade through alone

i’ve seen it all
been mocked by the scared
hit with disdained lost stares
bringing up hope
shoving me down
breaking the things i’ve found

but i’ll take
what is known
and i’ll wade through alone

and don’t you ever try to change yourself just to please someone
you gotta take a chance, a risk, in life
if you’re to be some one

why would you waste your only chance to be some one?
why would you change if your life is built on loves?

so i’ll take
what is known
and i’ll wade through alone

and don’t you ever try to change yourself just to please someone
you gotta take a chance, a risk, in life
if you’re to be someone

why would you waste your only chance to be someone?
your only chance.
why would you change if your life is built on loves?

i live underground
sheltered by the weight
that feeling of almost safe
