> Til I       am myself again
>
> 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
>
> I know it's time
> 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
