I am rather tired,
Though it's not from lack of sleep
It's from that aching feeling saying that I’m in too deep
It's from that same old person knocking loudly on the door
It's from the lack of presence of the calming ocean shore
It's from the daily routine of sleep, eat, and repeat
It's from all the people thinking that I want to meet
It's from that one song that keeps on finding room in my mind
It's from how compared to others, I am far behind
I am rather tired,
So please just let me be
Because my thoughts are blurry and I just wish to flee
