Sick & Tired (HRT! Version)
SparkySynth
I've tried the positive outlook
Say the grass on my side is greener
Did not notice how much of it took
Fake that smile and change my demeanor
For too long I held my head up high
As if nothing at all was the matter
Turns out in fact it can hurt to try
And now you're forced to stop pretending all together
I could use new feet to walk with
Different hands on the steering wheel
Fresh eyes to see the world with
Untouched skin with which to feel
Cause I don't want this body anymore
Drop it off at a secondhand store
Grab me a new face of the shelf
Cause I'm so sick and tired
Of being myself
So you thought that I had a thick skin
But I'm a porcelain doll wrapped in duct tape
And I wish the fragile parts would just break
So the whole thing can just be replaced
I could use new feet to walk with
Different hands on the steering wheel
Fresh eyes to see the world with
Untouched skin with which to feel
Cause I don't want this body anymore
Drop it off at a secondhand store
Grab me a new face of the shelf
Cause I'm so sick and tired
Of being myself
And I can see the chains crystal clear
But don't have the strength to break them
So many words on the tip of my tongue
But lack the courage to say them
Good old days are in short supply
I'm banking on experience to fake them
As I'm juggling these thoughts hoping they would stop
But I don't have a way to make them
I could use new feet to walk with
Different hands on the steering wheel
Fresh eyes to see the world with
Untouched skin with which to feel
Cause I don't want this body anymore
Drop it off at a secondhand store
Grab me a new face of the shelf
Cause I'm so sick and tired
Of being myself
