Things are getting just a-too cosy for me,
I'm not seeing people as they see me,
Gonna break away and gain control,
You free your mind, you free your soul.
I was the type who knocked at old men (history's easy)
Who together at tables sit and drink beer (somewhere is really)
Then I saw that I was really the same,
So this link's breaking away from the chain.
Away from the numbers,
Away from the numbers
Is where I'm gonna be.
Away from the numbers,
Away from the numbers
Is where I am free
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh...
Away from the numbers (away from the numbers)
Away from the numbers (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Is where I'm gonna be.
I was sick and tired of my little niche,
I'm gonna break away and find what life is.
And all those fools I thought were my friends (coasting is easy)
They now stare at me and don't see a thing (rea-lity's so hard)
'Til their life is over and they start to moan,
How they've never had the chance to make it good.
Away from the numbers,
Away from the numbers
Is where I'm gonna be,
Away from the numbers (away from the numbers)
Away from the numbers
Is where I am free (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Is where I am free (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Is where I'm gonna be (ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's reality (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Reality's so hard (x6)
