Whatcha know my life has now become a case study,
Every good deed I do counts for nothing, ain’t it funny
That when I’m happy the weather outside ceases to be sunny
Maybe I should be more selfish next time cause life is crummy
All I want is things to go right this time, I’m at the edge
and what I’ve been taught makes me think I’ve been mislead
Put others before yourself was the important mantra said
So is it possible that I’m out of kindness and love to spread?
I’m running on empty on empathy know that its killing me
And when did I become so jaded, how could I let this be?
Could it be the sea of people walking all over me
Maybe I let others have fun while I act as the referee
I accept that this message is terrible, I am rightly humbled
If I weren’t rapping this out loud, this instead would be mumbled
Under my breath as I walk arrogant as I stumble
If happiness is the end zone, I appear to have fumbled.

Cause I’m sick of doing right
I’ve been doin’ it all my life
I always make the sacrifice
And where’d that get me?
I accept the fact that I’m human
And that there’s room for self-improvement
So in life I’m just a student
I’m battling the apathy, how could I let this be a part of me?
Honestly, tell me something’s really truly wrong with me

Call me apathetic and yes I get it
Maybe I’ve become overzealous with the rhetoric
It’s possible I’ve gotten sick with the people politic
all the deluded fakes with all of their common shtick
and their selfishness reduced down to a comedy bit
so when you try to stand up they force you back down to sit
So you grit your teeth losing altruism until you submit
Until you admit that you can no longer take all the shit
Anymore to the point that your heart gets torn
To peace in pieces and you’ve got your arms drawn
You’ve shut yourself in to weather the upcoming storm
Things get so unpredictable like the forecast in Melbourne
And the only thing you wanted to do, was try and help
You used to give yourself in response to ease what others felt
And in return they exploited you and put you back on the shelf
That’s why in order to help others you need to first help yourself

Now I’m sick of doing right
I’ve been doin’ it all my life
I always make the sacrifice
And where’d that get me?
I accept the fact that I’m human
And that there’s room for self-improvement
So in life I’m just a student
I’m battling the apathy, how could I let this be a part of me?
Honestly, tell me something’s really truly wrong with me

I feel so destroyed and so empty
And this burden is getting heavy
Things aren’t going so steady
Maybe I’m just not that ready
I’m still grasping on to this rope
Despite the pain in my throat
Maybe this note you will quote
The last thing I hold onto is hope

Still I’m sick of doing right
I’ve been doin’ it all my life
I always make the sacrifice
And where’d that get me?
I accept the fact that I’m human
And that there’s room for self-improvement
So in life I’m just a student
I’m battling the apathy, how could I put this out for all to see?
Honestly, tell me something’s really truly wrong
