This life is a police chase
That only I should face

I don't have a get away car
So I won't get too far

Its me
Not you

I'm the cause for this life
I'm the one who holds on to this knife

Its me
Not you

If I can't get ahead
I'm the one who fled

Its me
Not you

I'm the one who filled the clouds  
I'm the one who shouldn't be around

Its me
Not you

Its my matter
If everything shatters

Its me
Not you

Nothing makes sense
Because I built the fence

Its all me me me
I should be left alone to fight my battle, my burden not you
Please don't worry about me I need to take the world on alone
Not let my feelings be shown I have the weapons for this war
But I can not fight
I have lost sight
I keep

down
I'm caught in the wind
Hung by the rope
I am choked
But its better that way
Better to be forgotten I say
I'm worthless
of no use
I don't deserve  anyone to care
Not even of these feelings I share
I'm  disgusting
I need duct tape
To hold onto my shape
Keep all my internal organs from spilling
I fear
It is ever so clear
the unavoidable
I must find a way to disappear
I must
grow wings
and fly
