All I want is to spread my wings and explore
Whatever's through that open door.
And soar through the sky
But I can't because I'm too afraid to try.
And honestly I feel like I'm at the darkness's beck and call.
And I feel like I'm falling into an abyss.
Only to find it isn't endless at all.
And as I hit rock bottom I'm lifeless,
And I can't wait any more
Because it's getting harder to see my reality clearly
When I feel like life is nothing but a chore.
And It's killing me slowly
While I wait indefinitely
It consumes me
I try to fight It and stay strong
But everything I do seems to be wrong
But mainly I hate everything and I don't understand why.
So I just sit and cry.
