Brand New Me

I'm an unresponsive man

Leaning in a rolling can

Full of students tired of learning, inept of dreaming

In the morning, break of day

Longing for a getaway

I take a seat, I close my eyes and I press play

I'm an occupational hazard

And that's why I'm taking some measures

The weight of my boredom whispers

That I'm tired of being a drifter, in a rut

I'll soon be gone where the sun may take me

And where small towns are all pretty

I'll leave the tracks where dreams are buried

And where everybody's hurried

I turn to be a Brand New Me (Brand New Me)

I'm an unresponsive man

Leaning in a rolling can

Full of workers tired of working, inept of dreaming

In the evening, sun is gone

I am barely holding on

I take a seat, I close my eyes and I press play

The coffee's bad and traffic too

No one's looking out for you

The least thing you can try

Is not turning a blind eye, I'm looking out

I'll hold the past like a flame to guide me

Not a chain, but a fire inside me

I'll trade the clock for a heart that's beating

Time well spent not time repeating

I turn to be a Brand New Me (Brand New Me)

Was an unresponsive man leaning in a rolling can

Tired of learning, tired of working, inept of dreaming

It took so much time to pay

For my most lucrative mistake

I take a seat, I close my eyes and I press play

Don't wanna hear, don't wanna see, just get away

Who am I working for? And why is it not me?

It seems so long ago that I was brave enough to see

A Brand New Me
