East & West - In Her Own Words

I’m sure if these walls could talk

They would just keep to themselves

Just like everybody else

Just like everybody else

Nobody’s voiceless

They just act that way

They just act that way

But how am I supposed to just assume

That everything will fall back into place

With a snap of my fingertips?

I can’t explain this hate that I hold

I guess I’m just afraid

I’m sick of feeling so alone

When I’m surrounded by a crowd

I just can’t think straight

I’m sick of not knowing where home is

Sick of pretending that I’m homeless

What if I did something crazy?

Like wrap myself in flames

Would that make them want to see me

Or would they laugh right in my face?

What if everything they taught me

Could help me bear this storm?

My basement has always been freezing

But the attic’s always warm

I’m sick of feeling so alone

When I’m surrounded by a crowd

I just can’t think straight

I’m sick of not knowing where home is

Sick of pretending that I’m homeless

I’m sick of feeling so alone

When I’m surrounded by a crowd

I just can’t think straight

But how am I supposed to just assume

That everything will fall back into place

With a snap of my fingertips?

I can’t explain this hate that I hold

Well I guess I’m just afraid

Like wrap myself in flames

Well I guess I’m just afraid

Would that make them want to see me

Well I guess I’m just afraid

Well I guess I’m just afraid
