Lyrics

[Verse 1] Is everybody still alive? It's hard to tell if you're all still alive, I'm here fenced in And questionin' my role in this prison covered as a therapist's office It's more than flesh - the flesh is useless, but the spirit still looks in delivering false hope I'm asking when? [Pre-Chorus 1] When do you tell a grown up the trouble, when you're gonna be seen as the trouble And ain't nobody gonna help you? When do you stop protecting them, the reasons for this position 'Cause ain't nobody gonna help you [Chorus 1] I am not something happening to you I am not something happening to you I am not something happening to you Don't spin that I am something happening to you [Verse 2] And spinning is the name of the game in most ways you can count Thought it would end, but so does anyone who ever ends up sitting down where I now must sit We play this victim card and then amplify The same treatment that made us victims [Pre-Chorus 2] So, when do you tell a grown up the trouble when being a grown up's the trouble And ain't nobody gonna help you? You fit the profile alright, but you can't break out of the textbook signs That ain't nobody gonna help you [Chorus 2] I am not something happening to you And I just wish you could see it too I am not something happening to you No matter how you spin the truth [Bridge] No matter how you spin the truth The truth just won't move [Pre-Chorus 3] When you don't want to finish me, and you feel that when I'm out to sea I drift because of things that you do Remember, don't break anything and don't want to hurt who you want to keep And finally, please read the room [Chorus 3] I am not something happening to you I'm just not something happening to you I am not something happening to you Please stop spinning that I am something that is happening to you
