Ask Me How It Feels

Exhausted

The days are growing longer
And shorter grows the night
But isn't it so interesting
How bird and planes take flight
They free themselves from bondage
From knots tied on the ground
And fly away so freely
Oh how grand does that sound
Oh how grand does that sound

Sometimes I wish I had these wings
I'd up and fly away
But gravity grips on my feet
And drags me through the day
The air is heavy, darkness looms
Why won't it go away
These thoughts I think
I'm at the brink
Of flittering away
I'm flittering away

The words I seal behind my lips
The smile I hide behind
Sometimes I wonder what it is
And why I even try
Because these endless passages
Are coming from my mind
I sit and wait and think and hope
That one day I will find
The thing I yearn to find

The eyes I use to gaze at stars
Are locked inside my soul
Instead they slave and never sleep
To earn the honor role
Pencil in hand I yearn to draw
And create, sketch, and fold
But they want mental slavery
And I'll do as I'm told
And I'll do as I'm told

I sit and think how much of this
Will be worth it to keep
I do not get the logic
Of counting endless sheep
Because of them I think I'm falling
Mentally too deep
Deprived of things I really need
I'm yearning just to sleep
But they won't let me sleep
