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 (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 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 gotta 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 deserve 
If I could chose my own name 
I'd chose something that's bold and fits 
Like anger, aggression, or cunningly brash 
By the skin of my teeth but with timing and class 
Oh woe is me (Oh woe is me) 
Oh woe were us (Oh woe were us) 
But not anymore we stand up for ourselves 
We're like captains at war, we'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 gotta 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 deserve 
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 (So) hold back 
Steadfast you've gotta 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 deserve
