lyrics

my brain is always tired but i’m always shaking
i never know how to articulate how i’m feeling;
the highs and the lows get exhausting after 5,980 days

and i try to look forward but i stick to the past
i feel like i’m always being examined through one-way glass
am i undercommunicating or am i just the problem?

sometimes i wonder if i have a place or space
or if i’m just a square peg,
trying to fit into a triangular hole
and sometimes i wonder if i can just cut and paste
and make myself fit so i’ll feel more whole

i put pencil to paper instead of my tongue
i rarely tell people “i feel like i’m not enough;
i can’t hold my own in a battle of wits”

and fictional worlds are just so much more appealing
tell me, how does one embrace this funny feeling?
i’ve picked up too many conflicting ideas from questionable
people

and i try to look forward but i stick to the past
i feel like i’m always being examined through one-way glass
am i undercommunicating or am i just the problem?

sometimes i wonder if i have a place or space
or if i’m just a square peg,
trying to fit into a triangular hole
and sometimes i wonder if i can just cut and paste
and make myself fit so i’ll feel more whole

i want to sit still long enough to organize my thoughts;
string together coherent words and make it all add up
i don’t think i ever will,
but i guess i can hope

my brain is always tired
but i feel like i’m always wired
