Kitchen Sink

I’m hiding under the kitchen sink

Thinking ‘bout how things used to be

Feeling depressed ‘cause I’m wondering

If someone could love a monster like me

 

Don’t mind me

I’m hiding under the kitchen sink

Don’t worry

I’m fine

 

All my life I thought I was a burden

Sick of watching people thrive while I was burning

Considering suicide while I was still learning

Things won’t be alright

 

Don’t mind me

I’m hiding under the kitchen sink

Don’t worry

I’m fine

You can’t make me cry

But I guess it’s a lie

 

When things got hard and things weren't right,

I hid under the sink for a night,

To pretend everything is alright

No longer putting up a fight

 

Nobody noticed I was gone,

They suspected nothing was wrong.

If that was true, I woulden't be writing this song

 

Don’t mind me

I’m hiding under the kitchen sink

Don’t worry

I’m fine

Draw the line,

Paint the sign.
