Lyrics
0:09Why no one will help me
0:12I am too dumb I am too smart
0:17They'll not understand me
0:21I am lonely
0:23They'll hate me
0:26There is not enough time
0:30It's too hard to help me
0:35God wants me to work
0:38No resting no lazy
0:43These excuses how they served me so well
0:51They've kept me safe
0:53They've kept me stoic
0:55They've kept me locked in my own cell
1:01I'm too far from home
1:04It takes far too much energy
1:09And I cannot afford to
1:13No one will ever see me
1:18These excuses how they served me so well
1:25They've kept me safe
1:27They've kept me stoic
1:30They've kept me locked inside my cell
1:35These excuses how they're so familiar
1:42They've kept me blocked
1:44They've kept me small
1:47They've kept me safe inside my shell
1:53Bringing this into the light
1:56Shakes their foundation
1:59And it clears my side
2:01Now my imagination
2:05Is the only thing that limits
2:07The bar that is raised to the heights
2:12No one can have it all see
2:16I have to they want me to
2:20And I can't let them down
2:24I'll never be happy
2:29These excuses how they served me so well
2:36They've kept me safe
2:39They've kept me stoic
2:41They've kept me locked inside my cell
2:47These excuses how they're so familiar
2:54They've kept me blocked
2:56They've kept me small
2:58They've kept me safe inside my shell
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 There is not enough time It's too hard to help me 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 stoic 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 stoic They've kept me locked inside my 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 stoic They've kept me locked inside my 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
