Tired

I'm tired So tired Something I cannot shake The remedy I know Isn't just a break I'm tired So tired I feel it in my home My soul, my heart, my mind cries out I just want to be alone! I'm tired So tired Tired of how I feel It can't be? Is it? No it can't be real! Who is this girl? Who is she? Is she me? I cannot tell. Because she looks...so tired And I'm certain that I'm well. I'm tired So tired So dreadfully weighed down I'm surrounded by these people Who clearly aren't around I'm tired So tired I know the remedy I seek But I can't change for it I don't want to! Don't you see? It's not sleep I have a need of Neither a break, nor of help Because I'm sure of it! CLEARLY! I am well. I smile I laugh I do as I've always done I continue to let you use me As I endure to run I'm tired So tired I'm sure this'll go away But the road to rest is long And filled with so much change I'm tired So tired My feet ache like my back I'm sure I'm growing older But I see no time has passed I'm tired So tired Too tired to even sleep Too happy to even smile And much too sad to even weep I'm tired So tired You can't see it my face I look as if I'm still running But I've nearly lost this race My body's old but young My heart I stabbed myself My days I waste away It's the fault of no one else Because you see I'm tired Tired of how things were Tired of what they are And much too tired to say these words
