Kevin Devine - Protest Singer lyrics

rate me

I stopped today to see myself in subway glass

and I was scared of the way I look now

I knew the only thought behind my eyes

please don't believe in me

I don't want to let you down

and I'm convinced it only rains in New York

and I am surrounded by everything that really scares me

a room full of empty people regretting every time that they inhale

and I want to write one perfect song

to make you cry in your sleep

kind of like a soundtrack for your dreams

to let you'ld know I'm watching and making sure it's turns out alright

it'll be alright

I guess I wanted to make you feel something

I wanted to make you feel everything

and you may call me a protest singer

but I'm only protesting myself

I don't believe in beautiful people

and I don't believe in me

I wonder what it's like to be in between

can you hear me

can you hear me

you may call me a protest singer

can you hear me

but I'm only protesting myself

and you may call me a protest singer

but I'm only protesting myself
