Held back by hesitation
Living up to expectations
There goes my inspiration
Giving up
I've given in
Why do I lie to myself
Try to be like everyone else
Just get this out of my head
I can't stop this twitch
Why oh why can't I scratch this itch
Slipping through the cracks
And I'm not coming back
I try to keep my grip
Keep losing contact
This life is not enough
I feel so stuck
I gave it all I could
Not like I ever had much
Why do I try to be like everyone else
The perfect boy on display on the shelf
I'm not who I wanted to be
This twitch keeps telling me
Hanging by a thread
The blame is hung over my fucking head
I'm not who I wanted to be
This twitch keeps lying to me
This twitch won't stop
Till I'm fucking dead
But I know I'm perfect
Just the way I am
This life's a bitch
I can't stop this twitch
I'm losing sleep
Why can't I scratch this itch
