[Verse 1]
I'm being punished for a crime that I didn't commit
I'm more than twice shy, but I've never been bit
Running round in circles trying to capture the flag
But the wind keeps it away like a grocery bag
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I doing something wrong, because nothing seems right
Am I sleeping through day, becaue it feels like night
I don't know how to act, I just know how to fight
I tell myself again and again that I just might
[Chorus]
Cease to exist on this plane
Stop telling people my name
Understand that I am the one to blame
Retreat, headfirst to the back of the corner
Of my innate sense of self destroying shame
[Verse 2]
Everyone is laughing at something that I did
I'm verging on adulthood, but I am still a kid
And I cannot speak and I cannot learn
I just sit here and I yearn and yearn and yearn
[Pre-Chorus]
With my ears to the door trying to be a part of the herd
Making up the conversation when I can't hear a word
My inner monologue went from first person to third
The line between my mind and my life is getting blurred
[Chorus]
Until I cease to exist on this plane
Stop telling people my name
Understand that I am the one to blame
Retreat, headfirst to the back of the corner
Of my innate sense of self destroying shame
[Bridge]
Talk to me, can't you see I'm all alone
Help me, I can't see the things that I'm shown
I can't see, I'm blind to the things that are well known
And I don't really know, any more, whether I can make it on my own
(echo)
[Chorus]
I cease to exist on this plane
I stop telling people my name
I am the only one one here to blame
I dive headfirst to the back of the corner
Of my innate sense of self destroying shame
And I drown
