I'll be the man you want me to be
However sure that I'll become something
You're nothing but a case of sellable lies on repeat
So will you be kind enough to sign my reprieve?

How will you fare against the stress of life?
This nest has cradled me for quite some time

Oh, I'm walking the black road
If this is a dream
Then when will I wake up?
Nobody's on my side
No, this ain't for me
So when will I wake up?

I'll let myself out of this cage I'm in
Cry me a stream, boy. You never win
No, you never

How will you fare against the stress of life?
This nest has cradled me for quite some time
Another way could be the path I ride
Am I awake or am I blind?

Oh, I'm walking the black road
If this is a dream
Then when will I wake up?
Nobody's on my side
No, this ain't for me
So when will I wake up?

So when will I wake up?
How will you fare against the stress of life?

Oh, I'm walking the black road
If this is a dream
Then when will I wake up?
Nobody's on my side
No, this ain't for me
So when will I wake up?
