Become Mad - EarlyRise

Hiding quietly in my room

I was hoping you wouldn’t be back so soon

Felt my heart pounding as I crawled

Slowly on the floor

Felt your presence piercing through

Guess I was never good enough for you

Your shouting made me feel so small

Desperate, insecure

There’s no room left for me in this shelter

What did you expect me to become?

No more than a disciplined little soldier

Left no space for me to grow

So I had to break away

It was getting harder to fall asleep

Tried to let go but I was in too deep

Then I started to realize

Something’s wrong with me

My point of view got all twisted up

You couldn’t see I was crying out for help

Treated me like I’m second best

Now I trust no one but myself

There’s no room left for me in this shelter

What did you expect me to become?

No more than a disciplined little soldier

Left no space for me to grow

So I had to break away

Swallowed my pride

I was frozen inside

Just wanted to be free to decide

Will you disappear?

I need you to stay away from me

There’s no room left for me in this shelter

What did you expect me to become?

No more than a disciplined little soldier

Left no space for me to grow

So I had to break away
