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've served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me stuck
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 stuck
They've kept me locked inside myself

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

Bringing this into the light
Shakes their foundation and it clears my side
Now my imagination
Is the only thing that limits
The bar that is raised to the heights

No one can have it all
See, I have to, they want me to
And I can't let them down
I will never be happy

These excuses
How they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell

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