You definitely don't know what really saw a girl so down   To make her daddy proud so far below   She tied her hair tighter back with sharper colored strings   A family living their old venturings       A country filled with people who only hold onto a grudge   A Prozac nation of depressed teenagers and grown ups   Who only judge a starless sky   You never notice from the city lights so bright   And then you wonder how your moron child grew up   And lost his sight      But I learned to leave the past behind   And everything, I guess everything, is alright   I learned to hold on tight   And everybody's talking about some answer they need to find      My canvas is awaiting my return   Lady Muse has left me   Inspiration only burn   And I hear the ringing on a phone   And it strung a sad string   And I'm barely awake and alive   And I'm drowning in the ringing      And everybody's talking about some answer they need to find   But I learned to leave the past behind   And everything, I guess, everything is alright   I learned to hold on tight
