You definitely don't know what really saw a girl so down
To make her daddy proud so far below
She tied her hair tighter back with sharper colored strings
A family living their old venturings
A country filled with people who only hold onto a grudge
A Prozac nation of depressed teenagers and grown ups
Who only judge a starless sky
You never notice from the city lights so bright
And then you wonder how your moron child grew up
And lost his sight
But I learned to leave the past behind
And everything, I guess everything, is alright
I learned to hold on tight
And everybody's talking about some answer they need to find
My canvas is awaiting my return
Lady Muse has left me
Inspiration only burn
And I hear the ringing on a phone
And it strung a sad string
And I'm barely awake and alive
And I'm drowning in the ringing
And everybody's talking about some answer they need to find
But I learned to leave the past behind
And everything, I guess, everything is alright
I learned to hold on tight
