• I'm tired of thinking
    I wish my brain would shut down
    I'm tired of listening
    I wish the world would cease to sound

    Because I'm tired of feeling guilty
    Lost, afraid, and alone
    I'm tired of feeling angry
    Frustrated and unknown

    If I could be something
    I would be beautiful and loved
    I daydream of that too much
    And nothing is ever done

    I wish someone could hear my thoughts
    And say "I completely understand
    This pain is only temporary."
    And kindly pat my hand

    But still everything goes on in my lonely mind
    The world will not cease to sound
    And so I cannot stop thinking
    And my brain will never shut down
