Time Out from the Playpen
Mar. 1, 2001
Tell me what I’ve done this time
Everything I do feels like a crime
It’s a cycle that never seems to end
Here you come to put me down again
But there’s a look in your eyes
Which comes without surprise
It seems to say you’re sorry
For what you’re about to tell me
You seem to like to tell me I’m worthless
Though I’ve picked you up when you fell
You tell me that all my time is wasted
But you waste yours just as well
All work and no play
Waste your time away
While you know that it should be
Something more healthy
My emotion I can’t seem to explain
How can I get rid of such pain
Now I live my life day by day
I’d go crazy if I lived any other way
Time out from the playpen
Separated from my friends again
Living lonely in the corner
Making my long life shorter
I lift up my eyes to the night sky
And wish that in an angel’s arms I could fly
Somehow my feet stay planted in the grass
And the twang in my heart reminds me of my past
It could be that I’m scared
Of having my feelings shared
But I think that it’s mostly
The thought of what my life could be
