trapped underneath the stairs

i'm drowning and sedated

patiently awaiting

for my mind to really come down

i'm afraid of being hated

cuz i'm so jaded

not like everybody somehow

trapped underneath the stairs

dealing with the fears

constantly it's silent and loud

i am who i am

there's nothing i can do

i try to hide it

and it keeps breaking through

i feel the world so different

than any one of you

remember who you are

there's nothing you can do

i'm constantly debating

why i'm always playing

walking around with my head down

i don't want to be like anyone

what the fuck could i have done?

to deserve this terror somehow

trapped underneath the stairs

dealing with the fears

constantly it's silent and loud

i am who i am

there's nothing i can do

i try to hide it

and it keeps breaking through

i feel the world so different

than any one of you

remember who you are

there's nothing i can do

i'm not like 'em

can't hide what i am

like it or not

i push it down

it comes back again

the medicine stopped working long ago

i am my problem

inside has nowhere to go

nowhere to fuckin' go!

i am who i am

there's nothing i can do

i try to hide it

and it keeps breaking through

i feel the world so different

than any one of you

remember who you are

there's nothing i can do

you're always stuck with you
