| I became accustomed to
|
| A kind of social servitude
|
| And no one, I mean no one
|
| Could accept what I had become
|
| Selfish, bitter, weak
|
| Enough to make you sick
|
| And lately I’ve been feeling
|
| There are bits of life I’m stealing
|
| Get me home
|
| At times it seems I will not help
|
| But it’s just that I must save myself
|
| From fear that blankets like mist
|
| On an optimist who insists
|
| It’s the simple things that crush
|
| And I’m crying far too much
|
| So much so that I’m thinking
|
| My control on life is shrinking
|
| There’s a light on in my head
|
| And I’m thinking what I said
|
| All the freedom in my brain
|
| I’m alright now, I’m just thinking what to say
|
| Sorry doesn’t seem to wash
|
| When there’s truths around that I have quashed
|
| And no one, I mean no one
|
| Can depress me more than I can
|
| So does that make me weak
|
| Or should that make me sick?
|
| But lately I’ve been feeling that
|
| I’m gonna give up breathing
|
| There’s a light on in my head
|
| And I’m thinking what I said
|
| All the fever in my brain
|
| I’m alright now, I can even take the pain
|
| There’s a light on in my head
|
| And I’m thinking what I said
|
| All the fever in my brain
|
| I’m alright now, I can even take the pain |
