Papa Squat & the Magic Treehouse - Fire Escapes Lyrics

I've been building fire escapes and I have been since this morning
My back is tired and I'm covered in black paint
I didn't know how long it would take and the work is long and boring
It goes on and on and it isn't going great

Now my stomach's all in knots
Come on connect the dots
I'm ready nonetheless 'cause I'm preparing for the worst
And they ask me if I'm sad or is it just the melatonin kicking in

It is all about me but I don't know myself at all
I'm finding that I'm learning everyday
Looking down the world is small and looking back I thought I'd fall
But I've built these walls and I think I'll be okay

It's just me alone with thoughts, but I'm connecting dots
I'm ready nonetheless 'cause I'm preparing for the worst
And they ask me if I'm sad or is it just the melatonin

But I'm not sleeping 'cause I've got somewhere to be
I'm gonna escape this place and all that I face will be far behind me

Since I've given all I've got I've connected dots
I'm ready nonetheless 'cause I am gonna be there first
And you'll find me at my best 'cause I prepared for the worst
And they won't ask me if I'm sad because I've broken away from what kept me in
