All this air around me and I still feel suffocated
and this is nowhere near what I have calculated
they ask me "What's wrong?" and I tell them you wouldn't understand because it's too complicated
this is why I'm always so isolated
do you know how long I've waited?
I never wanted to be the person she created
they look at me not at all fascinated
and I'm sure if I leave
they would feel the need to celebrate it
they tell me all these feelings that I am having
are just "too overstated"  
and that actually makes me feel irritated
and not at all motivated
just makes me feel... suffocated

The lies that I hear every day makes my ears bleed
I'm sorry but that's not what I need
It didn't sound like a lie as it seemed
They lied to me like they were in need
Like they had to pay some deed
Their lies...
That's what I always received
They're delivered, are you pleased?
You can continue with the lies and proceed
But you'll never get what you want and that's guaranteed

take them
the words i long to speak
that lodge in my throat
these words of mine
take them out
so i can breathe.

"I don't know what to say"

says too much

I would rather you said nothing
