Koala (Self Cover)

Waking up again, oh God, my mind is a mess

And all my thoughts tie in knots inside my head

While every dream sings sweetly, begging to stay

But though I fight, it's time to start the day

Breakfast made, but, oh, what a pain

I choke it down, what an empty, boring taste

"How was the food?" you ask, so happy and bright

"I guess it's fine," I go and hide my eyes

But inside, nothing's fine

And if you ever ask me why

All I do is turn around and smile

So tell me, why should I even try?

I'm frozen away in time

It's pointless to try and fight against it

Doubled again in sighs

So now, I just wanna waste away

Please, let me escape the weight

And sleep like an old koala every day

Sitting down again, oh God, my mind is a mess

And all my thoughts tie in knots inside my head

So many people talking, buzzing away

But every noise rings dull inside my brain

Now, I wonder, "Is it okay?

Are all the people thinking all the same?"

You would imagine after day 888

These tired thoughts would all just fade away

'Cause inside, nothing's fine

It should be clear to prying eyes

But I won't let the feelings see the light

So tell me, why should I even try?

I'm frozen away in time

The walls close around me, sinking closer

I'm trapped deep within my mind

So now, I just wanna run away

From all the thoughts that I'll never chase

Knock out like an old koala every day

I'm choking in a sea

What could I ever do? (What could I ever do?)

And deep inside, I can't decide if I should die and follow through

When you offer me a hand

I wonder, "is it right?"

To bet upon the chance and open up my life

Is it wrong to run and hide?

Come tell me why

Is everything okay?

I just wanna stop and say

You don't have to cry alone and take it
