Verse i

Why no one will help me

 I'm too dumb I'm 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

Chorus i

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

Verse ii

I'm too far from home

 It takes far too much energy

 And I cannot afford to

 No one will ever see me

Chorus i

Chorus ii

These excuses how they're so familiar

 They've kept me blocked

 They've kept me small

 They've kept me safe inside my shell

Bridge

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

Verse iii

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

Chorus i

Chorus ii
