Can't you see?

Can't you see?
It's all falling apart
No more churning, no more turning
 
Just collapsing and falling free
My mind is racing no time to worry about my now withered heart
Because everything I have build is bursting and burning
 
I just want to be me
But I have to get it correct, I have to get it right, I have to hit the bullseye with my dart
I'm expected to do great things, to keep learning and earning
 
It's all so much I need to escape, I need to flee
Just a little more and I feel my cold dead body will be taken out on a cart
The world is going too fast, it's whirling and blurring
 
I can't keep up, I can't keep going, my troubles keep following me like a screaming banshee
Im told I just have to work through it, just work harder, be better, but i'm not that strong or that smart
I can't even keep focus, I lose track of my self during my discerning

Can't you see what this is doing to me?
Can't you see this is not the way it was meant to be?
Can't you see I can't do this, can't you see i need to be free?
