Lately I get a strange feeling
This place doesn't feel good anymore
Everything seems awkward
All common senses are misplaced

I have been asking myself lately
Am I still happy here?
Do I belong still ?
Why do I feel like a man stuck inside a ladies bathroom ?

I cannot control my depression
Melancholy gets the better of me
All these strange people I do not know
Speaking this strange tongue to my face

I should be happy
I should be feeling good about life
I should disguise my sadness with smiles
I should drown my despair with hope

I am dying slowly in this place
Sorrow is siphoning my life away
Darkness and weeping harass me
All hope is dimming right before me

I must escape from this strange place
Sail into the sunset of my life
To a world I can call my own
Where joy grows on trees like leaves
And rainbows are part of every day
