Me In the Flesh

I don't know how else to put this
 its taken me so long to do this 
I'm falling asleep and I can't see straight. 
My muscles feel like a melee body is curled in a u shape 
I put on my best but I'm still afraid 
propped by lies and promises saving my place
 as life forgets maybe its time I saw the world
 I'm only here for awhile but patience is not my style
 and I'm so tired that I gotta go
 what am I supposed to hide now
 what am I supposed to do 
did you really think I wouldn't see this through
 tell me I should stick around for you
 tell me I could have it all 
I'm still to tired to care and I got to go 
I'm following suit and directions I crawl up inside for protection 
I'm told what to do and don't know y I'm over existing in limbo
 I'm over the myths and placebos 
I really don't mind if I just fade away 
I'm ready to live with family 
I'm ready to die in obscurity 
cuz I'm so tired that I gotta go
