I can’t do this
I just can’t
I can’t bring myself to try
I just can’t

It’s blocking me
Holding me back
But still I can’t do this
I just can’t

As much as I try
My wings are held tight
I can’t do this, I scream
Yet, why do I try?

I can’t bring myself up
I can’t pull myself out
I can’t find my way
I don’t know what it’s about

There’s no release
From at least myself
My prison’s inside
Of my translucent, ugly shell

My soul is trapped
I don’t recall such a thing
I’m fading from my mind
And feeling all the pain

I just want to leave
Why can’t I escape?
Why do you hold me back?
When I’m just time and space

Why am I so trapped?
Because I don’t believe in fate
So it must just be me
And from me spawns hate

I’m sorry that I can’t
I’m sorry that I will
I won’t forget you
But I’ve had more than my fill

I need to leave
It’s the one and only way
There’s none who’d follow
So you might as well stay

But I know it’s all fake
Why else would you stay?
Just leave me be
I’ll keep my presence at bay

I know I can now
It’s finally let me go
And all that I couldn’t
Has turned to yes from no

So goodbye to you, goodbye to life
You have set me free
I know I can leave, I know I can only
Be me
