Why no one will help me
I am too dumb, I am too smart
They’ll not understand me
I am lonely, they’ll hate me

And there is not enough time
It’s too hard to help me
And god wants me to work
No resting no lazy
These excuses how they served me so well

They’ve kept me safe
They’ve kept me stoic
They’ve kept me locked in my own cell

I’m too far from home
It takes far too much energy
And I cannot afford to
No one will ever see me

These excuses how they served me so well
They’ve kept me safe
They’ve kept me stoic
They’ve kept me locked inside my cell

These excuses how they’re so familiar
They’ve kept me small
They’ve kept me blocked
They’ve kept me safe inside my shell
