I'm tired of everything
I'm tired it won't end

I'm tired of overthinking
everything going on in my head

I'm tired of the pathways
I'm forced to always take

I'm tired of the loneliness
planting its stamp in my wake

I'm tired of friends
who talk behind my back

I'm tired of defending
those who forever won't stay on the right track.

I'm tired of dreaming
of something I won't become

I'm tired of imagining
a future that'll never come

I'm tired of everything
yes I really am

But what can I say?
Today will always be the day.

So I'll just live in the present
putting away my past

Hoping for a future
I pray will come and last
