Slipping
They tell me they love me
I just want them to let me go.
I’m trying to get away
They already know.
I just want out of here
This is a house of pain.
I feel myself slipping
I’m slowly going insane.
They tell me I suck
How they’re so disappointed in me.
I’m trying my very hardest,
I guess they can’t see.
I try and I fail
That’s how it always goes.
Expectations mean nothing,
If the outcome you already know.
I blame myself for everything
I think they blame me too.
I feel like I’m fading,
My body beaten and bruised.
There is no escape
I’ll never get away.
Words mean so little
When you have nothing to say.
