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
