All my best actualization

Has been done while I'm failing

I'm doing well

'Least my resume is

But I've not felt proud

Of all that for ages

You call me bright

But I feel dim

You call me bright

But I feel dim

I know that lately

I've been standing on thin ice

Could you convince me, please

That this is not the underwater side

And if I throw a little tantrum and

Stomp my feet

Just understand that I'm not sure

That breaking through's not breaking free

I don't wanna die

I don't wanna die

I desperately, desperately wanna live and thrive

Oh, but the life

That we've been prescribed

It takes away the energy and it takes the time

It takes to be and make what makes us feel alive

So hang me up and bleed me dry

You call me bright

But I feel dim

You call me bright

But I feel dim
