Excuses

Why no one will help me I am too dumb I am too smart They'll not understand me I am lonely They'll hate me And there is not enough time It's too hard to help me And god wants me to work No resting no lazy These excuses how they served me so well They've kept me safe They've kept me stuck They've kept me locked in my own cell I'm too far from home It takes far too much energy And I cannot afford to No one will ever see me These excuses how they served me so well They've kept me safe They've kept me stuck They've kept me locked in my own cell These excuses how they're so familiar They've kept me blocked They've kept me small They've kept me safe inside my shell Bringing this into the light Shakes their foundation And it clears my side Now my imagination Is the only thing that limits The bar that is raised to the heights No one can have it all see I have to they want me to And I can't let them down I'll never be happy These excuses how they served me so well They've kept me safe They’ve kept me stuck They’ve kept me locked in my own cell These excuses how they're so familiar They've kept me blocked They've kept me small They've kept me safe inside my shell Hoo~
