Kevin Devine

Protest Singer

I stopped today to see myself in subway glass

I was scared of the way I look now

I knew the only thought in my mind, my eyes

"Please, don't believe in me

I don't wanna let you down"

And I'm conviced it only rains in New York

I'm surrounded by everything that really scares me

A room full of empty people

Regretting every time they inhale

I wanted to write one perfect song

To make you cry in your sleep

Kind of like a soundtrack for your dreams

To let you know I'm watching

And making sure it turns out alright

It'll be alright

I guess I wanted to make you feel something

I wanted to make you feel everything

You may call me a protest singer

But I'm only protesting myself

I don't believe in beautiful people

But I don't believe in me

I wonder what it's like to be in between
