[Verse 1]
I wonder who I need to be today
They don't need to change, I'll relate
No matter what you have to say
It will be okay with me
No need to overcomplicate

[Pre-Chorus]
So what's on your mind?
'Cause I'm not sure that I know what's on mine

[Chorus]
It'll be so much easier
To follow you this time
I'll pretend
That I don't mind

[Verse 2]
What do I gain from acquiescence?
Constant social evanescence
Armed with my imagination
I forget about contention
Should I be more open?
Surrender more emotion?
Why can't everyone be happy?
Lost in reverie
[Pre-Chorus]
See what I mean?
There's no need to get angry if you close your eyes

[Chorus]
It'll be so much easier
To keep it all inside
I'll deny
And avoid the fight

[Bridge]
'Cause I see where you're coming from
But it's clear that I can't see right or wrong
I can't decide what side I'm on
When I'm trying to hear my voice, it's gone
I'll ignore the raging war within my soul
To keep the peace

[Verse 3]
There's a piece of me that knows his name
Every once in a while, he'll show his face
And when he does I'll have something to say
And I'll say it like an anthem
But for now I'll overcompensate to save face

[Bridge]
'Cause I see where you're coming from
But it's clear that I can't see right or wrong
I can't decide what side I'm on
When I'm trying to hear my voice, it's gone
I'll ignore the raging war within my soul
To keep the peace of mind
[Pre-Chorus]
She's right in front of my eyes
But just a lie

[Chorus]
It'll be so much easier
To take a walk outside
And save it all for another time
Or never mention it again

[Outro]
I'm calling off the surrender
Awake, oh sleeper
To keep the peace I may need to speak of
Waging war, trust the voice within my soul
To keep the peace
