What About Me

Verse 1

Voices

Too many choices

Head is spinning like a ceiling fan

Heavy

Holding steady

Try to be a man

Indecision sprouts

Growing nagging doubts

Roots in the floor

I want more

But I bite my lips hard

Thinking about my backyard

Where I can breathe

I want to leave

Where do I go

Tell me if you know

Nowhere to go

Chorus

What about me

What about me

Tell me what about me

Everyone else is louder

Everyone else is prouder

I just shrink

While I try not to blink

I just shrink

I just shrink

What about me

Verse 2

Anxiety flips

Paralysis grips

I can't даже rant

I want to scream but I can't

Everyone says they have it worse

Like my life is just a chorus to their verse

Their problems are a big deal

How I feel

Doesn't matter to the crowd

I'm not allowed

To be loud

So I rave in my head

Wishing I was in bed

Safe

Alone

Chorus

What about me

What about me

Tell me what about me

Everyone else is louder

Everyone else is prouder

I just shrink

While I try not to blink

I just shrink

I just shrink

What about me

Bridge

Nervous breakdown

My brain shuts down

The world keeps turning

While I am burning

Lowered into the ground

Still making no sound

But the world yet goes round

Yeah the world yet goes round

Help me Lord

I am bored

I am ignored

Tired of being the cord

Holding it all together

Verse 3

No choice

No voice

Keep going

Blood flowing

Ignore the pain

Dancing in the rain

Actually I'm just standing still

Swallowing the pill

I can't even cry

I don't even try

Just a ghost

To the host

Of people walking by

Why

Chorus

What about me

What about me

Tell me what about me

Everyone else is louder

Everyone else is prouder

I just shrink

While I try not to blink

I just shrink

I just shrink

What about me

Outro

I just shrink

I just

Drop

Verse 4

Locked inside a cage of my own design

Searching for a sign that I am doing fine

But the pressure builds and the walls cave in

Where do I begin with this original sin

I want to blow up and let it all out

Give the world a reason to scream and to shout

But I keep it tucked away in a dusty drawer

Because I know my pain is just a bore

To a society obsessed with their own reflection

While I am dying for a little bit of affection

Help me Lord I am sinking fast

Wondering how much longer I can really last

Chorus

What about me

What about me

Tell me what about me

Everyone else is louder

Everyone else is prouder

I just shrink

While I try not to blink

I just shrink

I just shrink

What about me

Outro

Shrinking down to nothing

Need to be something

Lord help me please

On my knees

No choices left

Feeling bereft
