Waking up again
Oh god, my mind is a mess
And all my thoughts
Tie in knots inside my head

While every dream sings sweetly
Begging to stay
But though I fight
It's time to start the day

Breakfast made, but oh what a pain
I choke it down
What an empty
Boring taste

"How was the food?" You ask
So happy and bright
"I guess it's fine,"
I go and hide my eyes

But inside, nothing's fine
And if you ever ask me why
All I do is turn around and smile

So tell me. why should I even try?
I'm frozen away in time
It's pointless to try and fight against it
Doubled again in sighs

So now, I just wanna waste away
Please, let me escape the weight
And sleep like an old Koala
Every day

Sitting down again
Oh god, my mind is a mess
And all my thoughts tie in knots
Inside my head

So many people talking
Buzzing away
But every noise rings dull
Inside my brain

Now, I wonder, "is it okay?"
"Are all the people
Thinking on the same?"

You would imagine after day 888
These tired thoughts
Would all just fade away

'Cause inside, nothing's fine
It should be clear to prying eyes
But I won’t let the feelings
See the light

So tell me, why should I even try?
I'm frozen away in time

The walls close around me
Sinking closer
I'm trapped deep
Within my mind

So now, I just wanna run away
From all the thoughts
That I’ll never chase
Knock out like an old Koala
Every day

I'm choking in a sea
What could I ever do?
And deep inside
I can't decide if I should die
And follow through

When you offer me a hand
I wonder, "is it right?"
To bet upon the chance
And open up my life

Is it wrong to run and hide
Come tell me why

"Is everything okay?"
"I just wanna stop and say"
"You don't have to cry alone and take it
Sinking deep beneath the weight"

Guess I went and cave

I wonder, is there another way?
Because I want to believe
That one day I’ll be okay

So now, I'll give it another try
I can finally see with a clearer mind
Even if the bumps in the road
Might try to stop me,
Still it'll be alright

Keeping it inside
Isn't clearing up the sky
So you tighten your hand in mine
Following the light like a cute Koala
Laughing in stride
