All we ever do - all day, all night
Is run around and play like we’re alright
As I face my fears in a losing battle, I’m shaking in my shell and I might
Be about to give up, can’t give what you’re expecting
Or live up to standards I’ve set for myself
Trying so hard to be, to please everyone else but me...
I fear the dark, I fear the day
I fear the stakes have all been raised
I fear I don’t have what it takes
But please relax for madness sake
I’ve heard some voices, seen some sights
Waking nightmares, sunlit frights
For long enough that I can say
I’m not crazy, no, I just need a break
All I ever want - inside my head
Is an escape from the pain of grief and dread
Yet here I am instead, with a blade against my arm again and
I don’t wanna die, but I’m tired of fighting
Sickness in my mind makes it hard to see
That the only one I can ever change is me
I know I’ve gotta change, but I don’t know I’ve got the know how/ but a little bit of rain doesn’t mean a hurricane now/ can i fall down and still keep my head up/ when i feel so out of touch or crushed by way too much/ pressure, stressors, can’t catch my breath or reflect under duress/ I guess my best bet’s to keep pressing on/ five minutes at a time down the road I go/ when all I know is...
We are all worth the time it takes us
We are worth more than our mistakes
Worth the uphill climb, so can we
Finally give ourselves a break
We are all worth the help we’re needing
We are worth more than the scars still bleeding
We are all here and all human beings
We won’t give up or give in to beatings
We are all worth the conversation
Worth the reconciliation
Worth a second chance to make it
We can make it, we’re gonna make it
We’re not crazy, no we just need a break
