Stranded in this bed My eyes don't wanna open, see the light of day But routine carries on The routine carries on On and on, away Of all the end conditions that I can conceive The ones in which I had an easy time are nonexistent So afflicted The jury's out, it's unanimously over It's too much Wasn't made for this world Set up to hurt Only in dreams can I get a taste Of a life that doesn't hold me down In my heart there's a place where I still believe In my heart there's a place where I still believe By the time eternal slumber makes me its host Will I have won the battle? Is that a choice I can make? Will there ever be another day like that one in the park When I didn't feel so different? Outsider, excluded "The weak breeze whispers nothing The water screams sublime His feet shift, teeter-totter Deep breaths, stand back, it's time Toes untouch the overpass Soon he's water-bound Eyes locked shut but peek to see The view from halfway down" I read the words slowly, the image forming in my mind Brought out my deepest fears and made me see them through new eyes It's too much Wasn't made for this world Set up to hurt Only in dreams can I get a taste Of a life that doesn't hold me down In my heart there's a place where I still believe In my heart there's a place where I still believe Of all the end conditions set out before me The ones in which I cherished time appeal the least The ones that bring it to an end could bring relief But that's a lie, I don't wanna die I just need a reprieve I just need a reprieve It's too much Wasn't made for this world Set up to hurt Only in dreams can I get a taste of a life that doesn't hold me down In my heart there's a place where I still believe In my heart there's a place where I believe And I'll try to hold on
