why can't i climb to the top of the mountain while pushing the boulder on up?
why do I always insist on doing this when everyone tells me to stop?
why can't I try to find something with which I can use to climb up in my mind?
I don't need any help as I yell out falling back down to the bottom again.
Like Sisyphus, I have an ordeal in my life that I cannot seem to surpass.
in-san-ity is repeating the same thing expecting a difference to pass.
Why can't I accept that not everything needs to be solved?
Why can't I accept help in my life from the ones that I love above all?
I guess its because I believe in myself that I challenge the people on top.
the way i keep going about it is why people have been telling me to stop.
the ones up above never listen, but i reach the peak of the mountain a lot.
my lackadaisical attitude is just a facade to cover my heart.
I need to protect it when I get rejected because I can't handle being unloved.
Adopting my problems, they're newly discovered, I always just an artist's personal lot. Soon after, I was too deep, caught up in what I was hoping what I had forgot.
how could you be there for me
when dealing with me is a lot
how could you be there for me
when I keep pushing you away the most?
what I was hoping that I had forgot.
how could you be there for me
when dealing with me is a lot
how could you be there for me
when it seems like my mind is completely gone?
how could you be there for me
when i push you away and keep telling everyone off
the strings that are holding me together are becoming too taught
how could you be there for me
when i push you away and keep telling you off
pushing this boulder is draining me and
the strings holding me together are becoming too taught
why can't i climb to the top of the mountain while pushing the boulder on up?
why do I always insist on doing this when everyone tells me to stop?
why can't I try to find something with which I can use to climb up in my mind?
I don't need any help as I yell out falling back down to the bottom again.
Like Sisyphus, I have an ordeal in my life that I cannot seem to surpass.
in-san-ity is repeating the same thing expecting a difference to pass.
Why can't I accept that not everything needs to be solved?
Why can't I accept help in my life from the ones that I love above all?
I TRY!!!
yes, I TRY!!!
people don't seem to understand.--
you're the only one that gets me,--
but i'm the dog that keeps biting your hand.--
I wish that I could tell you i'm sorry--
but i don't think that I can--
my pride always gets the best of me--
that's why i can barely stand--
this weight on my shoulders is becoming too much to bear--
so please tell me, why do you care?--
please tell me--
why do you care?--
I don't mean to sound ungrateful,
but I guess that I technically am,
i keep taking and taking and taking from you while offering nothing I can.
I suppose that I'm capable of giving and changing my worth
but i'm too concerned by the trials ahead,
and this overwhelming crushing burden.
tell me, please tell me,
am I worth it to you?
and if so, why do you believe so?
I offer nothing of value.
the only thing I can offer, are the burdens that I own, but you don't seem to want to let me carry them up the mountain alone.
I don't think I could ever repay you, for anything you've done, but maybe, just maybe, with you, these challenges, I can overcome.
