Change
I can never change
You tell me I decide
I never decide
Try
Try
Try
You never try
I never change
I never change
Because you never try
You never try
Because I never change
Weight
Weight
Weight
It all seems so heavy
Suffocating
Suffocating
Suffocating
Dying
Dying
Die
Die
Dye­
Dye
Dye my hair blue
Move out of the house
Shave my head
Get arms of tattoos
Lip piercings
Eyebrow piercings
I am not allowed
I can not
I will not
I will not
I will not suffocate
Suffocate under the weight of your demands
Of your norms
Of your expectations
I suffocate
I will not be suffocated
I can not be suffocated
I can not be
I can not breathe
Breathe
Air
Air
Air
Deprived of air
Deprived of me
Of me
Meaning
Meaning lost
I don’t want to continue
I’m scared
So afraid
Afraid
Afraid
Afraid the monsters in my closet
Are now in out heads
Afraid to talk
I can’t talk
I won’t talk
But I can’t be suffocated
I won’t be suffocated
I can’t be
I won’t be
I can’t breathe
I won’t breathe
I’m free
