I don't know how else to put this. It's taken me so long to do this. I'm falling asleep and I can't see straight. My muscles feel like a melee, My body's curled in a U-shape. I put on my best, but I'm still afraid. Propped up by lies and promises. Saving my place as life forgets. Maybe it's time I saw the world. I'm only here for a while. And patience is not my style, And I'm so tired that I got to go. What am I supposed to hide now? What am I supposed to do? Did you really think I wouldn't see this through? Tell me I should stick around for you. Tell me I can have it all. I'm still too tired to care and I got to go. I get to go home in one week. But I'm leaving home in three weeks. They throw me a bone just to pick me dry. I'm following suit and directions. I crawl up inside for protection. I'm told what to do and I don't know why. I'm over existing in limbo I'm over the myths and placebos I don't really mind if I just fade away I'm ready to live with my family. I'm ready to die in obscurity Cause I'm so tired that I got to go. Where am I supposed to hide now? What am I supposed to do? You still don't think I'm gonna see this through? Tell me I'm a part of history. Tell me I can have it all. I'm still too tired to care and I got to go. I'm still too tired to care and I got to go [Repeat x6]
