I can't look in, I can't look out
I often wonder what we're shouting about
What did she say? What did he do?
Why does it even really matter to you?
The lights get dim, the sight drops out
Suspended in a total free fall
What did he say, where did he go?
Trapped inside, but I still want you to be my friend!
I can't break into your world of doubt
The plastic wires tighten around my heart
They often say, your day's your day
I guess these are the shouts we await
And I don't know what to say
But I've got something to say to you
Something to say to you…
Trapped inside my head it's all a haze
Can't believe I didn't say what I wanted to say
Wander staring blankly in this maze
They say it's good, I don't agree anyway!
Trapped inside my head it's all a haze
Can't believe I didn't say what I wanted to say
Did you see in the puddles of pouting rain
The world reflect and call out your name?
And I won't know what to say about this
When I grow up, When I am young
When I am gone, When I feel hung
By a world trying to tell me what to do!
I'm taking it in, it's breaking me down
The caustic pollutants in the way you sound
When did it happen? When did you know?
One thing Alex before you go is that
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
Yes, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
Yes, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
Yes, I love you, I love, and they'll never take you anymore!
Everybody knows, this is how it goes
Because this is the day you gave the world your 21 Shout Salute
Don't feel bad, I know it's what you needed to do
And we all support you on your journey anew
Just remember us and we all love you,
Don't forget us and we won't forget you,
Because this is the day the world gave you it's 21 Shout Salute!
