Cracked

185 15 15
                                    

I'm tired of this shit
Rushed around
Nowhere to sit

Used for my talents
Used for my faults
Got other peoples secrets locked in my vault

I'm breaking... slowly breaking

Caffeine is my ultimate drug
Without it, I would have given up

Giving advice and helping people out
I'm acting as your hero and swallowing your doubt

My mind is a maze
I'm breaking down these walls
Catching everybody else, but I'm about to fall

I'm breaking... slowly breaking

Today they watched me crack and they stared
Wanted to throw me like a grenade but they didn't know where.

They watched as I bolted in a frantic rage
Anxiety ticking and and refusing to keep me in place

They saw me breaking.
Cracked, burning and shaking.

Because I didn't show tears
Or cry my heart out
They stood like bystanders and watched me shout.

So now I'm breaking.
Nobody beside me to take it.

Breaking... slowly breaking.
