I've got a little voice in my head
It's saying all the things I wish I said
But every time I open my mouth
I try to scream but nothing comes out

I read a book I didn't understand
I found myself looking up old words
I had begun to take their meanings for granted
I had forgotten the purpose they served

So I don't understand what it means to be happy
I don't understand what it means to be living
I just try to exist with the knowledge of my ignorance
I'm trying but it's hard

I know the place of the common man
I know this 'cause I'm a common man
But I have lived among exalted ones
And let me tell you that it was not fun

So I don't understand what it means to be rich
And I don't understand what it means to be poor
I am caught in between, being saintly and a b____
I'm trying but it's hard

I met a woman without a name
I saw everyone treating her badly
She looked as though she was above it all
But I could tell that she wasn't convinced

But I bet she understands what it means to really love
So I know she understands what it means to really hate
But the difference between the tow is just a matter of opinion
She's trying but it's hard

I have a little voice in my head (in my head)
It's saying all the things I wish I said (wish I said)
But every time I open my mouth
I try to scream but nothing comes out

I don't understand if this means I am afraid
Or maybe I'm just stupid 'cause I'm trying to be too brave
Yes, I'd like to be a hero but I'm feeling like a slave
I'm trying but it's hard

I want to scream
I want to scream
I want to scream but nothing comes out
Every time I open my mouth
Well, I try to scream but nothing comes out
It's saying all the things I wish I could say
But it feels real good just to sing this way
