Suffering from something we're not sure of
In a world there is no cure for
These lives we live test negative for happiness
Flat line, no pulse but eyes open
Single file like soldiers on a mission
If there's no war outside our heads
Why are we losin'?
I don't ask for much
The truth betold I'd settle
For a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
The truth betold I'd settle
For a life less frightening
A life less frightening
Hang me out to dry, I'm soakin'
With the sense of knowin'
What's gone wrong but doing nothing I still run
Time again I have found myself stuttering
Foundations pulled out from under me
This breath is wasted on them all
Will someone answer me?
I don't ask for much
The truth betold I'd settle
For a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
The truth betold I'd settle
For a life less frightening
A life less frightening
Is there a God tonight
Up in the sky or is it empty just like me?
(Just like me?)
A place where we can hide out from the night
Where you are all I need
(Where you are all I need)
So all he says, "Goodbye and close your eyes
Tell me what you see"
(Tell me what you see)
A life I sit inside this dream of mine
Where you are all I see
I don't ask for much
The truth betold I'd settle
For a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
The truth betold I'd settle
For a life less frightening
A life less frightening
