Buying time
I don't know why
I don't want to tell the truth
Of how I lost my mind
I look at you
And you seem put together
Like nothing bothers you
I on the other hand
Can't accept life
No, can't accept the way
Things are
I try and I try
But it's a useless cause
A useless attempt
I want to be for sure
Though I know I'm not
I feel like the world is on
My shoulders and I can't
Get this monkey off my back
