Follow Protocol - Intellectual

My life's supposed to be simple. That's not the way it is, of course

Of course

Now, I don't wanna go to school

And get a job that I don't even really want

So tell my why I even gotta try at all

To follow protocol

Just to fall apart again

Apart again

Just to fall apart again

Just to fall a-

So tell me why I gotta sacrifice my life

And why I gotta do it all right now

Everything you told me was just a lie

Even if I go to school I won't survive

Why can't I just be free

Why can't I just be me

Every time I go to sleep, I dream of dreams where I'm not scared of anything

I sleep through my alarm so I don't have to face the monsters that are waiting for me

If I even try to speak to someone else, I freeze

Words all in my throat

That I can't spit out

Choking 'till I almost pass out

So I leave

Can't speak to anyone

But in my dreams

I'm free to live my life how I need

I'm free to live my life how I please

Walk across the street

Hope that no one sees

Hid behind a mask

Now it's part of me

Running from myself

Against them, I rebel

But tonight, look like everybody else

Bundled up in their own costumes

Unlike them, tomorrow I will wear mine, too

Wear the costume

Like a nice suit

Can't decline to

I've been trying to

We're the haunted few

Waiting 'till we crumble

Wait until we crumble

Waiting 'till we crumble

Wait until we crumble

Waiting 'till we crumble

Wait until we crumble

Waiting 'till we crumble

Wait until we crumble

Waiting 'till we crumble

Crumble

Don't leave me

Please

Don't leave me

I can't grow up, yet

I'm not ready

My life's supposed to be simple. That's not the way it goes, of course

Of course

Cause, I don't wanna go to school

And get a job that I don't even really want

So tell my why I even gotta try at all

To follow protocol

Just to fall apart again

Apart again

Just to fall apart again

Apart again

Just to fall apart again

Apart again

Just to fall apart again

Apart again

Just to fall apart again
