"can't calm down" lyrics

"can't calm down"

So take me back outside
I don't want to hear the sound of buzzing lights
Bring me back to my old house
I want to see that tree I used to climb

Back when I was small
I don't want to be that

What if I can't calm down
And I don't have that in my bloodline?
And what if the faces of the holy
Are just faces from a fantasy and I
I can't see it through their eyes?
Although that I try

A struggle left undefined
Asking for clarity doesn't justify the crime
And only if memory serves
How can you be certain of what was deserved?

And what if they were wrong?
I don't want to be that

What if I can't calm down
And I don't have that in my bloodline?
And what if the faces of the holy
Are just faces from a fantasy and I
I can't see it through their eyes?
Although that I try

And what if I can't calm down
And I don't have that in my bloodline?
And what if the faces of the holy
Are just faces from a fantasy and I
Yeah, what if I can't calm down
And I don't have that in my bloodline?
And what if the faces of the holy
Are just faces from a fantasy and I
Yeah, what if I can't calm down
And I don't have that in mine?
Yeah, what if I can't calm down
And I don't have that in mine?
