kept to myself as a kid, no one could hide quite like i did   found my self in a room with an unmade bed   traded in my shoes for boots of lead   oh, but i'm not stuck; i'm just moving slowly      loosened my tie just like a man   stood up as tall as i could stand   found myself in a warehouse with rusted doors   traded in my bed for wooden floors   but i'm not stuck; i'm just moving slowly      now i'm putting birds in their cages   when i used to just let them go    graphite marks on the pages, if i could translate these hieroglyphics into words then you would know   that i'm not that down   yeah, you'd know it's just hard for me    catching up to pace with mistakes, a race i'll never lead   here i am gaining speed      loosened my tie just like a man   stood up as tall as i could stand   found myself in a warehouse with rusted doors   traded in my bed for wooden floors   but i'm not stuck; i'm just moving slowly
