lyrics

And on the day, we are born, will our lives have significance?
Days are feeling very short, not enough time to dwell on it
And in this prison cell of mine, the walls keep on growing in
See my reflection in the glass, a face that's unsure of it all
A face that's unsure of it all

In the morning I feel alive, where nothing is stopping me
And then the panic begins to rage, can't do nothin' about it
And have a drink, feel the burn, my body is settling
The greatest part of this routine, I'm starting to feel like myself

The doctor said I'll be ok
The patient doesn't have a say
The doctor said I'll be ok

My time is here now, I spend half of it just here on the ground
The darkest shadows are the ones in our head who take over the crown
There are no heroes who help me out when you come around
I think you're the devil who lives under my bed and makes sure when I'm found

The doctor said it'll be ok
The doctor said
