Lyrics
Hard to know for sure
In this dream, used to think I believe
Hard to know for sure
I know what I am, I know who I am
And I know what I have to do
I know what I am, I know who I am
But what if everything is true?
I got a shadow over me
I am not what I appear to be
And I know that you believe in me
And it feels so real, and it feels so re—
Yes, everything is fine, fine, fine, fine
We're running out of time, time, time, time
Yes, everything is fine, fine, fine, fine
We're running out of time, time, time, time
Here I stand, indiscrete, obsolete
Now I know for sure
Poisoned thoughts infiltrate, eradicate
Now I know for sure
I know what I am, I know who I am
And I know what I have to do
I know what I am, I know who I am
But what if everything is true?
I got a shadow over me
I am not what I appear to be
And I know that you believe in me
And it feels so real, and it feels so real
I got a shadow over me
I am not what I appear to be
And I know that you believe in me
And it feels so real, and it feels so re—
Yes, everything is fine, fine, fine, fine
We're running out of time, time, time, time
Make sure you stay in line, line, line, line
We're running out of time, time, time, time
Make sure you stay in line, line, line, line
We're running out of time, time, time, time
