Isn’t My Life/Elk Song

This isn't my life I'm living
Trying to fit in where there's no room
Conditioned for roles to play
Keeps changing the shape I'm in

This isn't my life I'm living
Too much mistaking vanity for love
Not sure who I'm fooling
But I don't think it's me anymore

Don't even know
When I changed into a shadow
Don't even know
When I lost the battle
Points I tried to prove were too sharp
Running up a score I couldn't handle

This isn't my life I'm living
Trying to fit in where there's no room
Conditioned for roles to play
Keeps changing the shape I'm in

Days wearing away day after day
Accepting what I know I shouldn't
Believing in what I couldn't
Tricking myself with nothing to say

This isn't my life I'm living
A promise isn't as real as I thought
Giving and receiving altered
To sold and bought

The emperors new clothes
Aren't my size
Too synthetic wearing truth into lies
Now I understand why the sky is falling
When I hear those long distance sighs
Somewhere my soul keeps calling

Days wearing away day after day
Accepting what I know I shouldn't
Believing in what I couldn't
Tricking myself with nothing to say

This isn't my life I'm living
Somewhere my soul keeps calling
