"Pulling Teeth" lyrics

Last night we were pulling teeth
I think I found I found my speed
I think I'm in too deep

I've seen it in shades of red
I think I've been mislead
I think I've been asleep

But after all this time
I wonder why you came
Just let it go (go go go go go go)
It's always on my mind
You need to know
You really need to know (know know know know know know)

I grew from a different seed
Guess I'm a different breed
Guess I should just secede

The colors we see aren't green
Our idols are not obscene
Our fires not fueled by greed

But after all this time
I think you know
That I've been feeling low (low low low low low low)
It's always on my mind
You need to know
You really need to know (know know know know know know)

How can you live a life of your own
If you can't decide your destination
How can you choose your own path
If someone else keeps creating it

And the only reason they told you to follow someone
Was because they were famous
Because they provided the keys to freedom
And they told you that you wouldn't make it
If you didn't follow the tracks that was already planted
Right when you thought there was no way of escaping
I had to break formation in order to command it
Even if it's dangerous

I treated [?] like a foreign language
I don't think I can understand it
I don't think I can comprehend it

This trip to surrender was never in plainness
So I took a step through restricted areas
I didn't need my permission granted
I sit in rooms with my [?]
I won't even listen to my own parents
I am the rebellion
The brilliant alien
That stands out from a million civilians

Who now wouldn't dare to correct me
Just because they don't know how to object me
They can't control the strings on me
I'm a different being
They told me to stop right now but I only proceeded
In what I was seeking multiple directions was what I needed
That's how I keep on dreaming of what I'm believing in
Because I choose to believe it

But after all this time
And love for you
You know the wind just blows (blow blow blow blow blow blow)
It's always on my mind
You need to know
You really need to know (know know know know know know)

Last night we were pulling teeth
I think I found I found my speed
I think I'm in too deep

I've seen it in shades of red
I think I've been mislead
I think I've been asleep
