place here

Slow, the time it goes
Ticking ticking ticking
Never seeming to get past the number twelve
Living hell
I look around, and all I see are
Faces staring back at me
I cannot breathe
Drilling holes into my head
All of your eyes are looking dead at me
What did I do?
Tell me why so I feel so out of place here?

Numb, and feeling dumb
Why do I bother trying to be normal
When I know that I just can't?
Why don't you speak?
The thought of bringing up the conversation
Fills me up with so much dread
I'm turning red
Even the simple interactions cause
My mind to leave me fast and I'm unarmed
What if I'm harmed?
Tell me why do I feel so out of place here?

There are too many faces
And not enough space for me here
Walls are closing in
Coffin holding me dear
I'm afraid what forbades me lies in my mind
Won't you cease this cerebral fire?

Cool, just play it cool
Leg is quaking, quit it, be still
Now you're nervous twiddling your thumbs
You've come undone
They see through your guise
And now it's time for you to face
The cold hard truth
It's in the news
Anxiety is killing youth
The signs are cleverly uncouth
And plain to see
Listen to me
Can't help feeling so god damn out of place here
