Original Material

Someone shake me, wake me up
 Tell me I've been dreaming
 Tell me what's the meaning of these things that I keep seeing
 'Cause I'm starting to get tired of spinning in a spiral
 Held under the pressure like a gravitron
 So someone listen close and help me analyze this feeling
 I don't see in color and white noise is all I'm hearing
 Yeah, the doctor gave me pills and my momma's saying prayers for me
 But nothing's working at all
 I don't want to just fit in with the rest of them
 I've got too much on my mind to be wasting any time
 Pretending to fit in with the rest of them
 I'd rather be original material
 When I was a child I had fire in my belly
 And love was all I needed to keep that fire steady
 Yeah, I use to be a dreamer
 Hoper and believer
 Now I need a natural phenomenon
 To prove my intuition isn't wrong
 I don't want to just fit in with the rest of them
 I've got too much on my mind to be wasting any time
 Pretending to fit in with the rest of them
 I'd rather be original material
 ♪
 Yeah, I know myself too well it's all a show and tell
 "Why can't you be yourself, man?"
 "Why can't you be yourself?"
 I don't want to just fit in with the rest of them
 I've got too much on my mind to be wasting any time
 Pretending to fit in with the rest of them
 I'd rather be original material for once
