i'm never gonna find a job.
i'll never pay the rent.
i'll build a home from sticks and stones,
and live like a shut in.
cast me out into the world.
demand i follow suit.
keep yr chin up.
mind the script,
and put on yr best grin.
you won't ever be what someone needs.
you won't ever have the best qualities.
look at you,
you found yr glow.
you finally earned it.
we're so proud.
there's no more drought.
we've been counting the minutes.
you better keep it close.
you better not abandon it.
the weight won't wear you down.
it's natural to feel it.
you won't ever be what someone needs.
you won't ever have the best qualities.
take a look inside yrself and tell me what you see.
i only want you as long as i think you benefit me.
the space that you occupy is not yrs to keep.
design it how you see fit,
but be prepared to leave.
