Bright from Sutured Self by deerxing

all my best actualization
has been done while i'm failing.
i'm doing well -- 'least, my resume is
but i've not felt proud of all that for ages.

you call me bright, but i feel dim.
you call me bright, but i feel dim.

i know that lately,
i've been standing on thin ice.
could you convince me, please,
that this is not the underwater side?
and if i throw a little tantrum,
stomp my feet,
just understand that i'm not sure
that breaking through's not breaking free.
i don't wanna die, i don't wanna die!
i desperately, desperately
wanna live and thrive!
oh, but the life we've been prescribed
it takes away the energy
and it takes the time
it takes to be and make
what makes us feel alive
so hang me up and bleed me dry.

you call me bright, but i feel dim.
you call me bright, but i feel dim.
