I’m waiting to be somewhere else
I’m waiting to be somewhere else
While everyone’s content with themselves
I’m waiting to be someone else
It doesn’t matter if I’m well
A quiet home becomes my hell
It’s no surprise I’m on the shelf
I’m waiting to become myself
I’m waiting to be somewhere else
And I don’t need any of your help
Even if I’m in poor health
I’ve got to take care of myself
I was fortified in silence
Four walls to birth this blindness
From anything that’s pure and concrete
My mind is forced to deplete
And I keep emptying out to fill the pages
To free these ideas from their cages
I was welcome and I was worth it
No I was welcome ‘cause I was worthless
So I’ll be waiting here again
Though I’m more scared than I’ve ever been
If something good’s around the bend
I’d still be waiting until my end
And I know I’ve been so angry
And I know I don’t have an answer
And I know you could be better for me
And I hate you, though I love you
I can’t name you, I’m above you and I’m tired of you
So I never say goodbye
I’m still waiting for this to die
I never gave you a reply
Can’t even bring myself to try
