When I feel sad, things aren't how they usually are
My favourite songs, sound more like therapy sessions
Taking a walk down the road feels like an eternity
I can swallow my emotions whole
Yet I still manage to be hollow
I can talk to a crowd of people
But I’ll still be lonely
Sing as loud as I can, but
I can still hear everyone's doubts
I close my eyes tight but
I can still see my thoughts painted before me
I punch and kick and scream all I can
But I still can't seem to win this battle
I've been fighting all my life
And I don't think I can win it anytime soon
I keep saying that I will because
I don't think my ears can bear to hear anymore bad news
They've heard every bad thing you could hear in life
From family, from friends, from enemies
But I pretend like I hear rainbows and sunshine
Just so that people think this is what I'm like on the inside
But all I hear are dreary days and blackness
They have know idea what lurks in the back of me
Never judge a book by it's cover
