i shy from the loudest voice the serpent i avoid choose to fight a battle rare it doesn t mean that i am bad it doesn t mean that i am scared it s just not worth the breath i speak my mind when i m at home censor when i m not alone choose who i am open to it doesn t mean that i am closed it doesn t mean i ve given up on hope it s just not worth the breath i hear when i must defend when you ve got naught to prove i ll wait and listen to your view it doesn t mean we must agree it doesn t mean that you know me it s just where it begins we live in a time of change breathe in what remains left from worlds before it doesn t mean we should destroy carry on mistakes ignored it s just all too short i cry when i can t express this feeling of torment when i can t get through to you i do because i care i do out of despair wish you could understand i m low when i get it wrong when dreams have been shot down when i reveal things i don t want to see it doesn t mean i m in denial it doesn t mean i want to hide but there s too much to bare
