‘Cause I cannot take – another god damn dark day,
Where I wake, to your mad eyes – and all that you can say, is…

‘They keep reading my thoughts – I don’t belong here,
They keep bringing me wishes – and I get them wrong…’

They wait inside your head, and they tell you who you are,
Just to be alone with that – it pushes you so far.
Well if you ever sink too deep – you know that I can dive,
So use your wishes wisely, darling – keep your dreams alive.

– – – – –

It never crossed my mind – to try to make you cry,
I said softly ‘can I kiss you?’, and you said ‘I don’t know, you can try’.
Well I am a lot of things – but I’m not to be feared,
It gives me shivers, darling – when you question that I’m here…

I’m just the Fourth of May.
I’m just the space you use to say the things you say,
And I’ve seen it all from so far down
And I’d rather lift off.. than drown.

When they lay me down.. I believe it’s fate
Yet another thousand people; they don’t think that way
Well who am I to change, when a mind takes hold?
I’m a slave to games and pray I make it to be old, but

I’m just the Fourth of May.
I’m just the space you use to say the things you say, and I
I’ve seen it all from so far down
And I’d rather lift off.. than drown, drown, drown..

I am not concerned that there are holes in all these thoughts,
It’s the only thing to push me on
They keep telling me to wait; see it through for one more day
But they will say that to anyone.
And they could be just anyone.

And I’m just the fourth of May..
