Excuses
Why no one will help me
I'm too dumb, I'm too smart
They'll not understand me
I'm lonely, they'll hate me
There is not enough time
It's too hard to help me
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
I cannot afford to, no one will ever see me
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
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 these into the light shakes their foundation and clears my sight
Now my imagination is the only thing that limits the bar and its' rise to the heights
No one can have it all see
I have to, they want me to
I can't let them down
I will never be happy
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
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
I'm too dumb, I'm too smart
They'll not understand me
I'm lonely, they'll hate me
There is not enough time
It's too hard to help me
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
I cannot afford to, no one will ever see me
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
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 these into the light shakes their foundation and clears my sight
Now my imagination is the only thing that limits the bar and its' rise to the heights
No one can have it all see
I have to, they want me to
I can't let them down
I will never be happy
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
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
