i don't wanna make you worried
i don't make you scared
but so many times of day i feel like i'm trapped in here
i don't think you understand
this must be more than i can
i don't think you understand
this must be more than i can see

fall asleep
having dreams
of what i can't see
take myself
inside out
and make my body
go quietly
these small years
of my life
are not my
only times
sometimes i
think too slow
about my own words
and where they should go
make a mess
do my best
to make it hollow
all just for show
could have been
anyone
i'll return
to the sun

unfocused, off-topic
there's nothing you can do about it
nostalgic, in my eyes
what it means to be alive
i woke up feeling bitter, so i will stay in bed all day
i’m dreaming of nothing
i'm lost and i'm always losing
somehow, you'll find
i’m out of sight and out of mind
i woke up feeling bitter, so i will stay in bed all day

it's not that i know i've decided
where i should go when i'm divided
it's not sweet
it's not somewhere you should follow me
it's not that i should know what that means
maybe i'll find a way that's easy
to be lost
to be somewhere it won't find me
sometimes it's hard to be awake, to be afraid
when my heart stops beating
when everything just up and stops
will i have been
everything
that little me wanted to be
sometimes i see things in the sky that are not there

i don't wanna make a big
deal about the way i feel
but i'm so scared i'm self aware
every day is just the same
sometimes i don't know my name
i'm just growing up, not outwards
if i knew who i was i think i would fucking hate me too
if you really knew me i don't think you'd like me like you do
i don't think i even have a clue
hoping everything disintegrates into nothing again
i don't know if i've just lost it
seeping through the walls and underneath the window pane i'll
make the rain inside go away
i know i've got so much ahead of me but i can't tell if i'm awake
completely destroyed by everything that i know i can't take
i could honestly be happy doing fucking nothing if it
meant that i could spend more time with you
or at least stop feeling like i'm not fucking human all the time
it's the way i'm wired
everything i want in life is barely more than living
i just wish i didn't feel so scared of living in my own skin
