If I fail
To satisfy
What these expectations demand of me
Will I sleep
In a ditch?
The deadline's fast approaching
If I trust
The government
Will they rob me dry?
Would I be
Complicit in
Their clandestine surveillance?
Someone please find me the key
To my mind
Someone please set me free
From my mind
If I don't
Ask her now
Will she still be here tomorrow?
Pulverize
These futile dreams
And my romantic affections
If per se
An asteroid
Were to annihilate the human race
What would be
Its impact on
My return on investments?
Someone please find me the key
To my mind
Someone please set me free
From my mind
Life is full of ifs, but I'll give you a new one
If I don't succeed, tell me, will they forgive me?
If I can't be perfect, if I can't meet expectations
If it crumbles down, please, will they spare me?
If I were
To run away
How long 'til they notice?
Slip away
In the dead of night
To seek a life of freedom
If I choose
To take a stand
Assert control of my life.
Would I be
Able to
Defeat these acid voices?
Life is full of ifs, but I'll give you a new one
If I don't succeed, tell me, will they forgive me?
If I can't be perfect, if I can't meet expectations
If it crumbles down, please, will they spare me?
Someone please find me the key
To my mind
Someone please set me free
From my mind
Someone please find me the key
To my mind
Someone please set me free
