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 small
They ve kept me blocked
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
