what i am Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Awake and breathing, we halt and catch fire
Timing's never what the soul desires
I belong somewhere on the outside
Will the signal survive when the circuit breaks?
[Pre-Chorus]
Telling me something, it's telling me something
It's telling me something now
[Chorus]
What am I supposed to do? (What am I supposed to do?)
You're dragging me away from the promised land
You fucked me up (You fucked me up)
But I refuse to let you kill what I am
[Verse 2]
Same old feeling when we halt and catch fire
Tired of all this reused desire
You belong somewhere, just not in my mind
I won't burn myself out just to keep you warm
[Pre-Chorus]
It's telling me something, it's telling me something
It's telling me something now
The pressure is rising, I feel it inside me
I need you to hear me now
[Chorus]
What am I supposed to do? (What am I supposed to do?)
You're dragging me away from the promised land
You fucked me up (You fucked me up)
But I refuse to let you kill what I am
What I am, what I am, what I am, am
[Bridge]
What am I supposed to do?
You're dragging me away from the promised land
You fucked me up
But now I know who I am
[Outro]
What am I supposed to do? (What am I supposed to do? Yeah)
You're dragging me away from the promised land
You fucked me up (You fucked me up)
But I refuse to let you kill what I am
What am I supposed to do? (What am I supposed to do? Yeah)
You're dragging me away from the promised land
You fucked me up (You fucked me up)
But I refuse to let you kill what I am
What I am, what I am, what I am, am, am
[Outro]
(What I am, what I am)
