You can take 

All the things you think I need 

All i wear upon my sleeve  

All the ways that you perceive  

I no longer need it 



I know what it means 

In black and white 

Got what it means 

And that's why 



You leave me on the edge of sanity 

There's not much left 

Just take a breath 

You paint me out as mediocrity  

Put to the test 

Just take a breath 



And me 

I just take things as they come 

Stick around until it's done 

And I'm not your chosen one, 

But can you admit 



I know what it means 

In black and white 

Got what it means 

And that's why 



You leave me on the edge of sanity 

There's not much left 

Just take a breath 

You paint me out as mediocrity 

Put to the test 

Just take a breath 



You can take 

All the things you think I need 

All the ways that you... 



You leave me on the edge of sanity 

There's not much left 

Just take a breath 

You paint me out as mediocrity  

Put to the test 

Just take a breath 



I know what it means 

In black and white 

I know what it means
