Well now I see they're screaming harder - and they're throwing things but I don't need to follow - I don't want to follow I'm trying to get hollow - trying to get hollow is there something I can borrow - just until tomorrow Well now I see they're getting lamer to the point of lying down the beat is getting softer - the heat is getting colder the light is getting dim - the substance getting thinner but I'm still trying to grasp it - they give me meals to choke on And now you hold his hand and now he understands but I don't have to face it - I don't have to chase shit 'cause I just wanna see through - I want to embrace you Get back where you belong at university or try to do it our way - try to make it this way but I don't need to listen - I'll be home for Christmas I'll see you when it's raining - society is draining You'll be up and you'll be down in a matter of minutes I've tried run the distance tried and get the high fence but I've never been a sportsman got picked last when they picked teams I'm the worst kind of amateur the kind which never wins the war though I had the best of teachers they called me the seeker And now you... and now you hold his hand and now he understands but I don't have to face it - I don't have to chase shit ' Cause I just wanna see through - I want to embrace you I just wanna see through - I want to embrace you oh oh oh! - I just wanna see through - I want to embrace you you...
