[Intro]
Reporting live from inside
[Hook]
Red light, red light
Green light, green light
Hey yellow, strange fellow
On my runaway train
Nothing here's the same
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wanna stay, sometimes I wanna go
Sometimes I wanna pray because sometimes you never know
Sometimes I wanna drink until my liver shrivels up
But then I get to thinkin', givin' in is giving up
I'm only just a human havin' his talks with God
I know him to be a friend, though at times we stand at odds
I tell him I distance, say it with my actions
Searchin' for the answers is ultimate satisfaction
I get lost in my quest
Ratioling through confusion
Find myself in relationships to falser the illusion

The reason that you sent your son to die
So should I just go and live my life for me?
I live my life in you
The differnce is to die for the lie or live for truth
I just wanna see forever, if ever had a day
It would be up in your presence where my sins are wiped away
I would look upon your face and see my true reflection
I'll be honest on this earth, my vision keep gettin' deflected
Forgive me for being me
I love you for being you
If you listen to this song, I love you for being proof
And helping me draw conclusions in this battle for my mind
All it took was four seasons to see that I needed time
I'm just hoping for a...
