The walls are slowly caving in
The weight is to much to bear
I'm on my own

I'm on my own
I can't do this anymore
My world is coming in on me

The whole world hates me
I can tell
I'm not suicidial

Anyone can see that
Help me
I'm calling out
Like a homeless guy
Begging for spare change

But they ignore me
Just like the man

I'm not normal
I'm in plain sight
But no one chooses to help

I'm on my own
Doing this all by myself
