I Need to Play a Role, but I Need to Be Myself

There was a dream and one day I could see it /

Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it /

And there was a kid with a head full of doubt /

So I’ll scream 'til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

--Avett Brothers, "Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise"
