Human Contradiction

I'm the human contradiction

i can't make a decision i wanna hear but i don't wanna listen

i wanna be included in the conversation but i don't wanna take action

i wanna be the best there has ever been but i keep giving up all over again

i wanna sing but I'm scared of the mic

i wanna shine but I'm scared of the light

i wanna fly but I'm scared of flight

i wanna die but I'm scared of death

i wanna live but I'm scared of life

i wanna be great but it's all based upon an instagram rate

i wanna be a boss but I'm scared of just the thought

i wanna be proud but I'm filled with doubt

i wanna be all these things but at the same time i wanna be nothing

i don't wanna exist because i don't understand this i can't deal with this

i think my mind is worth more but in reality its worth only a dime

i want time to go by slower but i also want it to race past me and all of this drama in my family

i wanna be a good person but all i am is a burden destroying everyone else's comprehension

I'm the human contradiction

i can't make a decision i wanna hear but i don't wanna listen

i wanna be included in the conversation but i don't wanna take action

i wanna be the best there has ever been but i keep giving up all over again

i wanna sing but I'm scared of the mic

i wanna shine but I'm scared of the light

i wanna fly but I'm scared of flight

i wanna die but I'm scared of death

i wanna live but I'm scared of life

i wanna be great but it's all based upon an instagram rate

i wanna be a boss but I'm scared of just the thought

i wanna be proud but I'm filled with doubt

i wish my parents would have taught me how to be strong

i kinda had to learn it on my own and I'm not that good at it

i don't wanna live with this

constantly trying to contradict

making it confusing

its sad people find this amusing

i regret getting upset over stupidity of these other people all around me

i wish that the tea was sweet but in reality its bitter

but sadly some people are as cold as winter

i wish i would have been the best but the only thing I'm good at is being a restless soul in December

i try to be poetic but so far its just hectic

sorry all i do is lie but for now this is just a simple yet hurtful goodbye
