lyrics

I’m a spent force, lungs are bursting
Trying to outrun my mind
Under a banner of self-reliance
I raise a flag to show my pride
I need no-one, don’t come near me
I can stand all by myself
Walk around me, a weaker species
I’m so far above the rest

I need you to know how much I don’t need you
I need you to see I’m stronger on my own
You stop listening and I’m alone again
Suddenly I find I’m not so confident

Only when I am alone can I see all the brokenness inside of me
And now I find that these tattoos and piercings cannot cover up
The little boy that I’ve been trying so hard to hide

We need each other, we need to stand together
The myth of the independent man is spent and gone
