Spiraling

You treated me like less than nothing Now you want me to rise Show them all I'm something It's hard to pace this When I'm still struggling with the basics But hey, I'll learn to fake it All the while spiraling All the while spiraling It's not fragility I need authenticity A solid base in reality One pillar of stability To climb out of despondency All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling Fluorescent lights, white walls, endless halls Shiny floors, steel double doors, faceless calls You thought I'd shatter but it helped create me They locked me up but they couldn't save me All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling It's not fragility I just need authenticity A solid base in reality One pillar of stability To climb out of despondency All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling It's not fragility I just need authenticity A solid base in reality One pillar of stability To climb out of despondency All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling Spinning through the empty air All the while spiraling There's something pulling, something there It's not clear and it's not clean But for me its real, it's my mind's routine All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling It's not fragility I just need authenticity A solid base in reality No room for your sympathy Trying to build pillars of stability Something to climb out of this despondency All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling All the while spiraling
