> There's a seat on the corner I keep every night

> Wait til the evening begins

> I feel like a stranger from another world

> But at least I'm living again

>

> There are nights full of anger

> Words that are thrown

> Tempers that are shattered and thin

> And the moments of magic

> Are just too short

> They're over before they begin

>

> One big step

> I can't go

> I'm not ready yet

> Til I am myself

> Til I am myself

> Til I am myself again

> I had a dream that my house was on fire

> People laughed while it burned

> I tried to run by my legs were numb

> I had to wait til the feeling returned

>

> I don't need a doctor to figure it out

> I know what's passing me by

> When I look in the mirror

> Sometimes I see traces of some other guy

>

> I want to go

> I know I can't stay

> But I don't want to run

> Feeling this way

> Til I am myself

> Til I am myself

> Til I am myself again
