tired

Wait a minute it’s not the same

Kept inside a house without a means to escape

Everything about me screams

I’m so alone I can’t be seen

I’m trying to stay up at night

To keep me tired and out of sight

There’s people knocking at my door

They’re so alive they want things more

They’re trying to take up my time

An hourglass they live inside

My shirt’s too big my chest’s too small

I’m starting to not care at all

I’m wired I stare at a screen

To keep me tired so I don’t sleep

My legs feel like two red balloons

They’re tied around an endless moon

They’re flying to a better place

Where everyone around me gives me space

Wait a minute it’s not the same

Kept inside a house without a means to escape

Wait a minute it’s not my fault

Everything that happens now is just a result

Everything about the queen

Is so above the average things

She’s higher in her palace walls

She’s elegant her ego’s tall

She rolls herself out of her bed

Her shelves are stacked with books she’s read

She’s tired she thinks back to when

She was a child and she had friends

Her people sleep outside they freeze

They’re waiting by the balcony

For her to feed their appetite

Cause when she’s there it gives them life

She waves and dances for the crowd

She slips and falls she’s upside down

She’s flying quickly towards the ground

They stick their arms out just to catch her crown

Wait a minute it’s not the same

Kept inside a house without a means to escape

Wait a minute it’s not my fault

Everything that happens now is just a result
