This Everything

My life is a bubble
Outside of the car
Even when I walk
I never get far

Confined to this neighborhood
I cannot escape
Tied to this schoolwork
Let me run away

You know I'm grateful
I treasure my life
But is it not supposed to be more
Than studying dawn till night?

Let me run, run away
Let me find another day
Let me hit my knees and pray
In a completely different place

Because I'm sick, sick as always
I can't even breathe today
I'm being strangled by this everything
And I can't get away

So let me be a bird
And I will take off to the air
I will never come back down
I will stay always up there

So let me free tomorrow
Just let me free at last
I'll run faster than you've ever seen
And I'll never come back
