I’m drained or am I lying? Lying to myself and others around me? For what it’s worth I’ve been trying to sincerely get out of this loop But all I do is fall into it desperately and hopelessly Like a never ending ruthless tangle of unwoven ties, deep dark in the mysterious corner Where no one hears me cry out at the top of my voice Where no one sees me struggling to breathe And around me I see the crowd that moves forward so much in grace But do they? Maybe I don’t see their tangles or hear their cries.

I’m drained or am I lying? Lying to myself and others around me? For what it’s worth I’ve been trying to sincerely get out of this loop But all I do is fall into it desperately and hopelessly Like a never ending ruthless tangle of unwoven ties, deep dark in the mysterious corner Where no one hears me cry out at the top of my voice Where no one sees me struggling to breathe And around me I see the crowd that moves forward so much in grace But do they? Maybe I don’t see their tangles or hear their cries.
