The Team Player

In a world of noises
All I pretend to hear is silence
I'm no better than the rest

I don't know who I am
Or where I wish to be
But I'm better
Inside I know I'm better

But we all have fears
We bury deep inside
We'd all be so much better
If we'd just raise our eyes
Look past the tears and anguish
Let our true selves shine
We're all in this together
There's no more place to hide

We all have fences and defenses
'Cause we're scared to show
Our face behind the curtain
And all the things we know
Eventually, we're judged
By a jury of peers
Who just look out for themselves
It's been the same for years

But we all have fears
We bury deep inside
We'd all be so much better
If we'd just raise our eyes
Look past the tears and anguish
Let our true selves shine
We're all in this together
There's no more place to hide

I know I can't keep waiting
Wasting time; procrastinating
The team won't face the music
I'll let the music let me choose it
It's a smokeless slag
Or a Root Beer Rag
It's my drug
And I choose to abuse it
