This is not my world, this is not my day
Why can't I just run away?
I'll never come back, never be in your way
You'll never have to worry about my stupid, ugly face.
Here I go, watch me leave
But for some reason you won't let me.
If you keep me here, I'll never be free.
Free, free, free
I'll never be free
Always trapped, never to be me
In a cage, waiting to eat,
Waiting to leave...
I sit here and watch you thrive
Meanwhile I'm just trying to survive,
I'm dying here on the inside.
No one cares to see me crying,
No one cares if I'm OK
But I'm not OK,
I can't be, not this way.
A million things crowd my mind
and not even I can get inside.
I can't sort, can't organize
and that's the way I stay alive.
I feel like you want me gone, so I try to go
But he don't want to let me go
I'm trying, I promise, I'm trying to stay
But that's not what I feel you say.
Freedom from you is all I desire
Freedom to set forth my inner fire
To do as I please,
To live and be me
Uncage me, I beg of you.
But I can't be free, not with you
You, the burden I bear,
The mistake for now I must care
and how I wish you weren't here.
Go, go, just go away
Go to who wants you, go today.
Someone out there is waiting, hey,
Little monster, you're insane.
Throw a pillow on my head and wait
to drown you out while I suffocate
yet I still hear you do it doesn't work.
Every noise you make makes me bezerk!
This pillow's so stuffed I'm stuffed
Because of you I've had enough,
because of you I feel so stuffed
that I'm starting to feel like a dead duck.
Is that okay with you?
Or shall I just be skewered?
EAT ME!
Like a piece of venison, deer meat
Here I am, mother of Bambi
Here for the taking, ready.
My brain ain't here and yet I am
Tell him what's wrong, I wish I can.
I can't keep doing this sh,
Can't keep putting up with this
I wasn't made for this, not cut out for it.
Your crying and screaming drive me insane
Extra blood pumping through my veins.
I've always been that way,
Its always done this to me anyway.
I know that I could use the help,
Know I can't do this by myself.
So here I am, begging, knowing I'm alone
Without him I don't wanna be at home.
