Break free of that crowded cage
The light hits my eyes...shows me something else
When you think like me
Everything is strange
The walls aren't caving in but all the colors fade away
And this incessant plague inside of me is sucking at my brain
And I can't think!
How I got this way...don't know how
But what do I know now!?
I know that everyday I stare up at that sky
Beg that sun to burn me up… inside
One last time, take one lasting breathe
Keep sucking at that oxygen
Let if fill you up again!
Some days are all the same and… I'm feeling strange
And by the way
I'd rather die than be a pig
Roasting in his own skin
The strangest thing you'll ever need is waking up everyday right next to me
The strangest thing you'll ever be is happy waking up everyday right next to me
And this anxiety might just be killing me
Because when you think like me
Everything is strange
The walls aren't caving in but all the colors fade away
And this incessant plague inside of me is sucking at my brain
And I can't think!
