All these years I’ve thought
Everything you had done
Was to protect me
Instead of building me up
To be your podium
[Look at me as I try to come clean
Emotions on my arms
Although I wear no sleeves]
Look at me as I try to come clean
Emotions on my arms
Although I wear no sleeves
I put myself out for the world to see
How desensitized and pretentious you all can be
Don’t say you’ve been where I’ve been
I’ve been left alone again and again
When you say you’re my friend, it makes me sick and lament
Staring at the clock hoping when it’s done ticking
Things will be different
So you stay stagnant
Amidst all this commotion
Your lack of reaction
Devoid of all your emotion

You know I'm scared, just come to me
I’m sorry
(I'm sorry)
I can't do this on my own
I know that I haven't been myself
But if you take my hand
Just take a leap of faith
I'll show you what you've helped save
I'll always look at you with the fondest of eyes
You keep pulling me through
The darkest of times
[I'll wait for your hand]
You've shown me the meaning of life
(the meaning of life)
[I'll wait for your hand]
Now that I've found you, I am not afraid to die
Please freeze this moment in time
So I can stay forever with you
So you can stay, forever with me
I've spent my whole life searching
Never sure what for,
But once I found you,
I searched no more

Boiling over with anxiety
Struggling to keep my head level
Terrified of what I might do
To alleviate this cacophony
Pouring the gasoline
To watch myself burn
And have nothing come to save me
Subliminal sabotage
Constantly changing directions
I feel I’ll always be lost,
I feel I’ll always be lost
Somebody help me
I can't breathe
Will this be the end of me
I live in fear, of myself
This is what I’ve become
But it’s not who I want to be
This is what I've become
Something I want no one to see
This what I’ve become
A shell of the former me
This is what I’ve what I’ve become
Destroyed all that I have
And now I’m left with nothing
This is who I am now
I can feel what’s it’s like to be empty
Yet in my mind I can't fill the void
One day I’ll see a better me
No emptiness, left feeling paranoid

I’ve come so far
From where I once was
Not looking back
Just keeping my head up
Because you never know
Just what you'll miss
It starts out so hard, and ends like this
It ends like this
Plant the seed, and watch it bloom
This is the start of something new
Rising up from the ashes
I’ve been down and out for far too long
Facade and mask, just to hide what's wrong
No more living life lonely and sadly,
After. Everything. I. Am. Happy.
