Lyrics:
Which is really worse? The hurtful things that I said
Or this feeling like you having a gun against my head?
Tell me would you be able to function well
If you too lived in this exact same type of hell?
Should I answer the question or question the answer?
Which of these options would you most prefer?
Chorus:
I don't have enough time for this motivation
All it ever does is break my concentration
I never ant to do what I'm told to do
Most of all I don't ever want to end up like you
Am I just suffering from all of my depression?
Or is this your endless onslaught of oppression?
It's like I'm being held hostage in my own house
When will I ever get a chance to break out?
You say that I need to learn some grattitude
Well I'm sick of your much too positive attitude
Chorus
I'm tired of being forced into contradicting belief
I just wish there was some way for me to leave
How am I supposed to make myself into something
When you keep treating me like I am nothing?
The only reason you guys always smile
Is that you're neck deep in your own denial!
