  What I'm searching for
  To tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall
  Walking by myself
  Down avenues that reek of time to kill

  If you see me, keep going
  Be a pass-by waver
  Build me up, bring me down
  Just leave me out, you name-dropper
  Stop trying to catch my eye
  I see you good, you forced faker
  Just make it easy
  You're my enemy, you fast-talker

  I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
  If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
  I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
  If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe


  What am I here for?
  I left my home to disappear is all

  Fit in so good the hope is
  That you cannot see me later
  You don't know me
  I am an introvert, an excavator
  I'm duckin' out for now
  A face in dodgy elevators
  Creep up and suddenly
  I found myself an innovator

  I want to get up out of my skin
  Tell you what, if I can shake it
  I'm-a make this, something worth dreaming of
