Steaming along in an ocean liner,
Trying to please the world around,
Make myself seem finer and finer,
So I don't hit the ground,
Gotta find the life inside,
Create a world for just her and I,
Try to make myself good enough,
She deserves the best,
I have to pass the test!
Feeling like I have to fight to keep it on the inside,
Gotta find myself a pride,
Gotta find a place to hide,
Redefine high and reach the sky,
Is it good enough if I really, really try?
Positively I have to fly,
Have to make myself finer,
Have to live through another day,
Pressured to make myself diviner,
I have to be the best,
Have to accomplish so much before I run out of numbers on the timer!
I have to be the best rhymer,
Make myself a place to keep it all,
Up the wall, god, it's so tall,
Forsake my case so they're not quite so crappy,
Fake a face to make them happy,
Can't say what's on the inside,
You know I've tried,
But you've acted like I should hide,
So here goes everything I'm giving it my all,
I hope that I don't fall,
Someone tell me why,
Give me a reason because I don't want to die,
Please don't be afraid to pry,
Someone please try,
I don't wanna die,
