I woke up surprised and disappointed
To find out I was still me
Last night should've killed me
Took a shower couldn't scrub it off
Tried to scream, I could only cough
I can't trust myself to be my own friend
Exhausted by the effort it takes to breathe
The whole world is against me
That's what I believe
Don't waste your empathy on me

[Chorus]
I'm through putting one foot in front of the other
And I do wanna run for cover
From the moment I wake up til I'm
Staring at the ceiling trying to sleep
I wonder if I have a soul to keep

Voices in my head will not turn off
There's a heavy weight on top
Of my chest today
I don't want it to go away because
The moment I let down my guard
Life will hit me twice as hard
My mistake, I thought I could have
Just one day off
From pushing boulders up steep hills
Playing in traffic for cheap thrills
I don't know what to do
That's why I'm telling you that
[Chorus]

Sometimes there's nothing on my mind
But everything at one time
Find me sliding backwards down
To where I don't want to be found
Stop with these tests give me some rest
My heart is beating right out of my chest
I do believe I have a soul to keep
