Fitting in is hard when there isn't a box for you to fit into.

lyrics

Well it’s hard for kids like us to grow up.
Our nostalgia comforts us,
the world’s so dangerous out there.

You’ve tried your best to care.

Before the pressure takes hold of us
the world’s puppeteering us.

I’m right here
Although you haven’t said a word,
I can hear your problems loud and clear.

So can you see straight?
or do I need more silver paint?
(or do i need more silver paint?)

If you're a cold blooded freak,
or a hot headed creep.
Sing it loud.

I’ll regret what I'll say,
bring it up anyway.
Don’t mind me,
I’m just thinking out loud.

Though our sight's on the stars
we won’t get very far.
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

So tell me is this enough?
Tell me if it’s too much.
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

(Am I trying too hard?)

Well we all know when push comes to shove.
Feeling insignificant
to life’s indifference to all.

I’ll help you break your fall.
From the mindless attention-getters,
you could do so much better.

I’m right here.
Although i haven’t said a word,
It's clear, i'm just another mirror.

So can you see straight?
Maybe i need more silver paint?
(silver paint, silver paint, silver paint)

If you're a cold blooded freak,
or a hot headed creep
Sing it proud.

I would change everything
would that change anything?
Don’t mind me,
I’m just thinking out loud.

Though our sight’s on the stars
we won’t get very far.
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

So tell me is this enough?
Tell me if it’s too much.
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

All your antics can come off as bizarre.
You know it’s possible to push it too far.
You never knew that acts could be too loud.
What does it mean to be picked out in a crowd?

We’re the fools.
We lose our cool.
And fall away,
From all the shame.

So when in doubt,
It’s easier to cut the act.

If you're a cold blooded freak,
or a hot headed creep
Sing it Proud.

I would change everything
would that change anything?
Don’t mind me,
I’m just thinking out loud.
(Am I trying too hard?)

Though our sight’s on the stars
we won’t get very far.
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

So tell me is this enough?
Tell me if it’s too much.
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

I’ll regret what I say,
bring it up anyway.
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

You’re a cold blooded freak,
i'm a hot headed creep,
Am I trying too Hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

you’re a cold blooded freak,
I’m a hot headed creep,
tell me is this too much?
(Am I trying too hard?)

I’d change everything
would that change anything?
I’ll regret what I'll say.
(Am I trying too hard?)

Being stuck in the dark
ain't a walk in the park.
Tell me now.
(Am I trying too hard?)
