[Verse 1]
I spend my time daydreaming, a routine void of meaning
You can’t slow down when you’re not moving at all
My feet are nailed to the floor and things have been
The same way since I can recall
I waste my time and imagine that I haven’t been stuck
For so long. I wish that I was less wrong about that

[Chorus]
Why can’t I just move along like everyone around me
Seems to do, while I’m stuck here, exhausted, trying
Desperately to rupture through the cage that I feel I’m stuck in?
I scream but no one hears my pleading cry so I’ll just fall back asleep tonight

[Bridge]
I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to break these shackles off
And I’m not sure if I did, I’d even know which way to walk
My mind is growing weak and the things around all
Look the same to me

[Chorus]
Why can’t I just move along like everyone around me
Seems to do, while I’m stuck here, exhausted, trying
Desperately to rupture through the cage that I feel I’m stuck in?
I scream but no one hears my pleading cry so I’ll just fall back asleep tonight
