offspring - staring at the sun lyrics

baby life is like a ride on a freeway
dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
it brings me down, but i won't let them

if i seem bleak
well you'd be correct
and if i don't speak
it's cause i can't disconnect
but i won't be burned by the reflection
of the fire in your eyes
as you're staring at the sun

when i ran i didn't feel like a runaway
when i escaped i didn't feel like i got away
there's more to living than only surviving
maybe i'm not there, but i'm still trying

though you hear me
i don't think that you relate
my will is something
that you can't confiscate
so forgive me, but i won't be frustrated
by destruction in your eyes
as you're staring at the sun
