It's too hard to help me
They'll not understand me
They've kept me small
They've kept me blocked
They've kept me safe
And there is not enough time
They've kept me locked in my own cell
No one will ever see me
They've kept me safe
They've kept me stoic
They've kept me locked in my own cell
The bar that is raised to the heights
I'm too far from home
These excuses, how they're so familiar
No one can have it all see
I'll never be happy
And it clears my side
They've kept me blocked
And God wants me to work
They've kept me stoic
I am lonely, they'll hate me
And I cannot afford to
They've kept me small
Now my imagination is the only thing that limits
I have to, they want me to
They've kept me locked in my own cell
These excuses how they're so familiar
These excuses, how they served me so well
They've kept me stoic
These excuses, how they served me so well
And I can't let them down
Bringing this into the light shakes their foundation
They've kept me safe inside my shell
These excuses, how they served me so well
It takes far too much energy
They've kept me safe
No resting, no lazy
