Just Fine This Way
I walk a tightrope, that's bringing me in.
I've got to let go, before it drags me in.
I never seem to feel like I'm even moving.
I stand very still, but they still see.
Standing in this cold, I know they feel me.
I can't escape no matter how fast I go.
There's a cage inside, it builds me up.
I'm so high, I can see my world crumble.
And these walls now trap me in.
I know that I'm sinking, but I won't drown.
Tears are for suckers, and I ain't a clown.
I won't be trapped by delusions no more.
So what if I can't feel? Does it even matter?
Talk all you want, all I hear is chatter.
So I'm not human, I'm just fine this way.
