D F#7 Bm G
You are trying to be different, you are trying to make friends
A
and you're trying to find the reason.
D F#7 Bm G
You are trying to get even with the monsters on your bed, gnawing at your feet
A
but you're afraid to look down.
D F#7 Bm G
And people are people, we all make mistakes,
A
but I'm afraid that the disasters will eventually add up and one day
D F#7 Bm G A
you'll be caught in a crossfire with no place to take cover.

D F#7 Bm G
I'm stuck inside an endless maze, never sure where I am.
A
I have no hole to crawl back to.
D F#7 Bm G A
I'm a turtle without a shell, a fish out of water, and I just wanna be killed.
D F#7 Bm G A
Fuck your righteous "it gets better"s, you don't who I am, do me a favor, shut your fucking mouth.
D F#7 Bm G
Make me forget about the knives pressed to my throat.
A
Make me forget about the murders of people I know.
Em A D F#7 Bm E7 G A
My parents love me more than I could probably ever imagine so I'll never leave them.

I have nowhere to go.

We could kill 15 birds with one stone, or feed 1 bird with 2 plates and we will choose the latter.
D F#7 Bm G A
This wealth we have can't be spread too thin, at least that's what we tell ourselves to feel
better...
D F#7 Bm G A
There are answers to these questions inside our actions but we're too scared to leave our homes.
D F#7 Bm G A
I'm afraid of where I come from, but I'm even more afraid of where I go.
Em A D F#7 Bm E7 G A
We try so damn hard to be honest with ourselves about how we feel.
A
I'm a liar.
