lyrics

You're voiceless in a crowd
Try to speak but all that comes out
Words you did not mean to say
Some things that people say

Looking for a friend with a golden heart
Who can keep you whole when shit's falling apart
Would take a blind turn when it's getting dark
Just to get you home

You go out for a walk
To clear your head of messy thoughts
Soon you find there's nothing left
Just some dark street and your own breath

Is it good enough
When you don't know who you are
Is it good enough
When you don't know who you are

Settled into someone's bones
Payed their dues and kept their home
Now you wake in a cold sweat
There's a stranger in your own bed

Is it good enough
When you don't ask who you are
Is it good enough
When you don't ask who you are

Find yourself a friend with a plastic heart
Who will say it's ok when shit's falling apart
Take a blind turn when it's getting dark
Leave you on your own

Is it good enough
When your friends say who you are
Is it good enough
When your friends say who you are
