Adrian Borland - When Can I Be Me lyrics

There's always this struggle To find my tongue This silence mistaken For consent by everyone And there's always this aching And there's always this need Every road I'll be taking Cursed by fallen trees When can I be me she asks When can I be me? This whole world takes my hand Brings me down to its level And demands who I should be Who I should be Your kisses blind me I drown in your sin It will be six years before I see the box I'm in Then the rules of engagement Will be forgotten in the war I see this relationship As it sinks beneath the floor I'm underneath you Two distant eyes My fire suffocated My desire compromised So far underneath you Dead in your arms You still hear me breathing My instinctive charms But when can I be me?
