Theres nothing wrong with me
I have a normal and happy family
But for some strange, strange reason
My head hurts no matter the season
My mouth is pained from smiling
The heaping weight keeps piling
How long will I have to tell my lies
I can see the distaste in their eyes
My heart is underwater slowly sinking
My mind is full of wishful thinking
All my tears and pain unseen
Hear the words I really mean
“Others have it worse” they’d say
But its getting harder every day

Plunging down into freezing waters
Every single time without supporters
I can hear the things that aren’t there
I just want to disappear somewhere
Falling in my dreams, landing in a heap
See, all this really plagues my sleep
But its alright, I’ll just say ‘I’m fine’
Looking up and down to pass time
Watching birds fly on their wings
Feeling a pull on my heart strings
A lantern’s glow and a candle lit
They’re growing dimmer bit by bit
Try and try and try as I might
But I still can’t reach the light
Still can't reach the light.
