They yell speak up.
I fill these pages like I fill those spaces with my lies.
They yell step down,
a crowd’s not worth this
and love’s not worthless,
you’ve got to step up stranger.
Might paint something
I might want to hang here someday.
Might write something
I might want to say to you some day.
Might do something
I’d be proud of someday.
Mark my words,
I might be something someday.
They yell right on,
a class act president you are my boss,
I am confident in your eyes.
They yell move up,
don’t stand back here
and wait like an animal at a farmer's gate
am I food or am I free?
So speak up
this is your last chance my friend,
roll the windows down
and take me in.
Reach out
say what you’re really about.
Are you coming here or not,
are you coming out?
I don’t want to know
that you don’t want me.
I don’t want to know
what you do without me.
I don’t want to know
what I’ll be without you,
I don’t wanna know.
