Akala – Something Inside My Head Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- They wonder why the caged bird sings
- But even worse a pain
- Is the bird with lead wings
- It’s like I’m on my own town
- But can’t speak the language
- Crowded to the point of suffocation
- Still feel stranded
- What bandage could heal scars invisible
- Existing is easy it’s living that is difficult
- It’s like a ritual
- I get close to believing
- Then I put a fortress up to close in my feelings
- Dreaming, so close to achieving
- Then I throw it all away
- Cos I’m scared to receive it
- Living every day in my shadow
- I find my resolve
- When the cold night swallows that shadow
- I travel through the landscape
- Searching for why
- But the question follows everywhere I go
- Like the sky
- You don’t understand my soul
- Well neither do I
Chorus:
- It’s just something inside my head
- Won’t set me free
- Won’t let me be
- It’s just something inside my head
- Comin in between you and me
- It’s just something inside my head
Verse 2
- I wasn’t born this way
- My condition was learned
- Once bitten twice shy I don’t wanna be burned
- When you travel a passage
- That leaves your soul ravaged
- Your mind waxes placid to limit the damage
- Your reaction is passive
- Whether you like it or not
- You cannot win whether you fight it or not
- Your brain swallows the pain and buries it instead
- Now..
Chorus:
- It’s just something that guides my
- Something that drives my
- Something inside my head
Verse 3
- I offend myself then avenge myself
- And pretend it helps to defend myself
- I believe myself then deceive myself
- To retrieve myself I don’t need my help
- Whether the brave myself or slave myself
- It’s strange every day I’m not the same myself
- I love myself then I hate myself
