Why no one will help me

I am too dumb I am too smart

They'll not understand me

I am lonely

They'll hate me

And there is not enough time

It's too hard to help me

And god wants me to work

No resting no lazy



These excuses how they served me so well

They've kept me safe

They've kept me stoic

They've kept me locked in my own cell



I'm too far from home

It takes far too much energy

And I cannot afford to

No one will ever see me



These excuses how they served me so well

They've kept me safe

They've kept me stoic

They've kept me locked inside my cell



These excuses how they're so familiar

They've kept me blocked

They've kept me small

They've kept me safe inside my shell



Bringing this into the light

Shakes their foundation

And it clears my side

Now my imagination

Is the only thing that limits

The bar that is raised to the heights



No one can have it all see

I have to they want me to

And I can't let them down

I'll never be happy



These excuses how they served me so well

They've kept me safe

They’ve kept me small

They’ve kept me locked inside my cell



These excuses how they're so familiar

They've kept me small

They've kept me stoic

They've kept me locked inside my cell
