i want to believe that i wasn't made

to compete and to cheat for the better grade

catch me outside bad is the winning phrase

i won't fight so i start to fade

you want fame you want fortune

you want all your thoughts heard

you want a million followers to gather your herd

i know cause i want just the same

but i've never been very good at games

so i'll stay here in my shadow lane

so i'll stay here in my shadow lane

so i'll stay here in my shadow lane

had a dream last night that it wasn't me

another soul lost its way into my body

she's in my thoughts in my brain and my reality

through a share looking glass i could see

somehow it felt a familiar place

to breathe and to move out another space

because we're all running in this human race

to the beat of a drum and another

to the beat of a drum that i never made

to the beat of a drum that i never made

that's a trick you can't escape so you better play

i promise it's fun if you learn to slay

fight for your place and you can stay

fight for your place and you can stay
