Kept to myself as a kid, no one could hide quite like i did Found my self in a room with an unmade bed Traded in my shoes for boots of lead Oh, but i'm not stuck; i'm just moving slowly Loosened my tie just like a man Stood up as tall as i could stand Found myself in a warehouse with rusted doors Traded in my bed for wooden floors But i'm not stuck; i'm just moving slowly Now i'm putting birds in their cages When i used to just let them go
Graphite marks on the pages, if i could translate these hieroglyphics into words then you would know That i'm not that down Yeah, you'd know it's just hard for me Catching up to pace with mistakes, a race i'll never lead Here i am gaining speed Loosened my tie just like a man Stood up as tall as i could stand Found myself in a warehouse with rusted doors Traded in my bed for wooden floors But i'm not stuck; i'm just moving slowly
