If the businessmen

drink my blood

Like the kids

in art school

said they would

Then I guess

I'll just begin again

You say

"Can we still

be friends?"

If I was scared

I would

And if I was bored

you know I would

And if I was yours

but I'm not

All the kids have

always known

That the emperor

wears no clothes

But they bow down

to him anyway

'Cause it's better

than being alone

If I was scared

I would

And if I was bored

you know I would

And if I was yours

but I'm not

Now you're knocking

at my door

Saying "Please

come out

with us tonight!"

But I would

rather be alone

Than pretend

I feel alright

If the businessmen

drink my blood

Like the kids

in art school

said they would

Then I guess

I'll just begin again

You say

"Can we still

be friends?"

If I was scared

I would

And if I was pure

you know I would

And if I was yours

but I'm not

Now I'm ready to start

If I was scared

I would

And if I was pure

you know I would

And if I was yours

but I'm not

Now I'm ready to start

Now I'm ready to start

I would rather

be wrong

Than live in

the shadows

of your song

My mind is open wide

and now I'm

ready to start

Now I'm ready to start

My mind is open wide

and now I'm

ready to start

You're not sure

you open the door

and step out

into the dark

Now I'm ready
