I don't know who I am
I don't know where I stand
So what else can I do

But follow lines on my hand?
Blow the candles, watch the smoke
Goodbye to youth before I choke


Although I've never been
I've never come face to face

Rumours speak of the future
Like it's a scary place
Stuck in my father's silhouette

The chaos I'll come to regret

It's clear that I'm not ready for this


I can't live up to these
Expectations of me

They try to change me to what I'll never be
Long ago I withdrew
My expectations of you

Unknown direction but it's where I'd rather be

They put the words in my mouth

But I don't like the taste
Their eyes just follow me round
Like I am such a disgrace

Their stares are dripping down my skin
Judgements are clawing their way in


It's clear that I'm not ready for this

I can't live up to these

Expectations of me
They try to change me to what I'll never be
Long ago I withdrew

My expectations of you
Unknown direction but it's where I'd rather be


I thought that my path was sewn by the stars
But I don't trust them anymore
Cause fate can be cruel and I'm just his fool


I can't live up to these
Expectations of me

They try to change me to what I'll never be
Long ago I withdrew
My expectations of you

Unknown direction but it's where I'd rather be

I can't live up to these

Expectations of me
They try to change me to what I'll never be
Long ago I withdrew

My expectations of you
Unknown direction but it's where I'd rather be


It's clear that I'm not ready for this
