Bayside - I and I lyrics

I've got a stage and a mic
Which I use to say things you won't like
But I spent years thinking I was alone
Now I know, now I know that I'm not
That I'm not
And I'm sharing that comfort with those
Who think that hope is lost

Oh, I'm so proud of where I am
I'm learning where to stand
Or to tread lightly

So hold back steadfast you've got to breathe
And be content just count to ten like all
The experts say and
If the drugs don't seem to work
Then they've got a padded room for
You to get your just deserts

If I could choose my own name
I'd choose something that's bold and fit's
Like anger, aggression, or cunningly brash
By the skin of my teeth
But with timing and class oh, woe is me
Oh, woe are us
Not anymore, we stand up for ourselves
We're like captains at war
Who'll get followed to Hell

Oh, and I'm so proud of where I am
I'm learning where to stand
Or to tread lightly

So hold back steadfast you've got to breathe
And be content just count to ten like all
The experts say and
If the drugs don't seem to work
Then they've got a padded room for
You to get your just deserts

I and I, we're taking control of our lives
I and I, we're taking control of our lives
I and I, we're taking control of our lives
Everything's alright
I and I, we're taking control of our lives
I and I, we're taking control of our lives
I and I, we're taking control of our lives
Everything's alright

So hold back steadfast you've got to breathe
And be content just count to ten like all
The experts say and
If the drugs don't seem to work
Then they've got a padded room for
You to get your just deserts
