I used to run once, now I just walk, I used to care once, I doubt I ever will. I used to smile once I still smile... Maybe I'm no longer the person you used to know You'd think I'd have known better than to listen to people. But I never said that I knew myself And my body is a cage With no way out. I'd like to leave Please Yet my thoughts are restrained by my skin. I'm always tearing and ripping and scratching at it. I just keeps growing back.

Once
I used to run once, now I just walk, I used to care once, I doubt I ever will. I used to smile once I still smile... Maybe I'm no longer the person you used to know You'd think I'd have known better than to listen to people. But I never said that I knew myself And my body is a cage With no way out. I'd like to leave Please Yet my thoughts are restrained by my skin. I'm always tearing and ripping and scratching at it. I just keeps growing back.
