My Growing Pains

My Growing Pains
Outside the window, the grass is green but my room feels stuffy
I'm just wandering around alone
Even as day turns into night
I'm stuck in this square space
Like a child who's eaten a turtle
Trapped in anxiety, with nowhere to lean my heart
Can't find it, What can I do, I do, I do
The tomorrow that made me dream
Feels like it's missing
Every day, I get more scared
Trying hard to break free
But it feels hopeless
It's just me shrinking
I don't know what to do
Over the attic's glass wall
Beyond this small room that feels suffocating
Can I not move forward again?
Struggling, growing bigger
My growing pains (my growing pains)
In the incomplete, clumsy days
Within the repeating chessboard
The me that this world knows
Feels like it's not me
Just becoming more self-conscious
I used to always do well
The tomorrow that made me dream
Feels like it's missing
Every day, I get more scared
Trying hard to break free
But it feels hopeless
It's just me shrinking
I don't know what to do
Over the attic's glass wall
Beyond this small room that feels suffocating
Can I not move forward again?
Struggling, growing bigger
My growing pains (my growing pains)
Everything I've done so far
Doesn't feel like mine, just aimlessly fishing
Tell me what can I do, I do, I do
The tomorrow that made me excited (made me excited)
Feels like it's missing
Every day, I get more scared
Trying to break free (Ooh woah)
But it feels hopeless (woah)
It's just me shrinking (just talking to myself)
I don't know what to do
Over the attic's glass wall
Beyond this small room that feels suffocating
Can I not move forward again (Change the world)
Struggling, growing bigger
My growing pains (my growing pains)
