Passion

I tried so hard just to fit in to the scene
That I've loved since I was just a teen
Fuelling that fire
Causing my lost desire
At home a different man
Than what the photos show
Can I please drop the act?
Can I just live without disguise?
I lost my passion
The only thing that keeps me true
Feels like I’m crashing
Take it away, take it away from me
This used to set me free
Now I'm falling to the ground again
Don't pity me
I tried so hard just to fit in to the scene
That I loved, wish I was still a teen
The dream alive inside my eyes so bright that I believed that I could fly at times
Okay that's a lie, but you know what I mean
The want so pure
The drive so real
I can't remember how that feels
Take it away, take it away from me
This used to set me free
Now I'm falling to the ground again
Don't pity me
Expression repression
I never knew who I should be
The smallest shake can make the biggest wave
Who am I, if not me?
Take it away, take it away from me
This used to set me free
Now I'm falling to the ground again
Don't pity me

In my darkest days
I sit alone and think that I'm a disgrace
No self-esteem
I'm lucky that these days are few and far between
There are those
Who feel that every day
They don't know why, they have no say
Feeling constantly surrounded by darkness
Haunting them
You're strong than you think don't run and hide
You've got this massive army right by your side
Tell your doubters you refuse to die
And just say to that voice inside
Hell no, fuck that, I control my mind
I'll be the reason I go on to find
Peace, happiness, love and worth
No longer bound by your disgusting curse
Feeling stronger now
I think I've got it beat
Just when you think you've got it under control
You get hit and you fall
You feel like it will never end
You feel like you will never mend
You're strong than you think don't run and hide
You've got this massive army right by your side
Tell your doubters you refuse to die
And just say to that voice inside
Hell no, fuck that, I control my mind
I'll be the reason I go on to find
Peace, happiness, love and worth
No longer bound by your disgusting curse
It's gonna come in waves
You're gonna feel there's no escape
Just don't stray, you'll feel stronger everyday
Just fight on
You're strong than you think don't run and hide
You've got this massive army right by your side
Tell your doubters you refuse to die
And just say to that voice inside
Hell no, fuck that, I control my mind
I'll be the reason I go on to find
Peace, happiness, love and worth
No longer bound by your disgusting curse

Shallow Thoughts
03:36

We are here, we are not broken
Seen as weak because we're soft spoken
But that ain't normal so we pay the price
Getting ridiculed for knowing who we are
That's okay we understand
Sometimes you gotta be a man
Just remember what you say
Reflects the person that you are
Take your shallow thoughts
Like the ocean, can you deepen them?
It's got to end
When kids are dying
And you're all crying
They're just words, they can't hurt you
We're not built in the same mould
Some of us fold
Broken
Have I taken on too much again?
I fear that this will never end
Shallow thoughts

Pages From a Closed Book

Will I be found by first light
It started when I was young
Big smile, bright eyed, just looking for fun
Crashing down came those clichés
Yeah right, innocent days
When he fell, my walls they went up
How close, is close enough?
When you're hurt that bad can you feel it again?
There won't be that chance if I let no one in
Woah-oh, woah-oh
I can see in my head
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Memories that I dread
The guiding lights I was meant to follow
Went out no time for sorrow
Had to grow up fast and become a man
For the younger one in my life to understand
To be true that voice inside
You'll never have to hide
Woah-oh, woah-oh
I can see in my head
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Memories that dread
Consuming all that see and wishing me dead
Woah-oh, woah-oh
I can see in my head
I've had the whole world fall down around me
And it won't deter me at all
I'll keep finding my place of peace
Ignore the demons following me
Woah-oh, woah-oh
I can see in my head
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Memories that dread
Consuming all that see and wishing me dead
Woah-oh, woah-oh
I can see in my head

The Puppeteer

Come look in the mirror and you'll see
All the things that you will never be
You know they never really want you around
You're just empty space and mute sound
Watch out
Here it comes again
I'm out shadowing your moves
You are my prey again
You hear them whispering incessantly
I'll let you listen to it constantly
Oh my god just leave my head
Please just leave before I'm dead
I won't be bound by what’s not true
And I'm not giving into you
And I've gotta say
I feel those shadows growing stronger
Days are getting longer
I've got to say
The pressure in your chest is tightening
Heart beating it's so frightening
And now you're feeling lost in a crowd
Let me just take a bow
My mind, is it my mind?
I wish I could find
The keys to take control once and for all
Before I fall into a place that I can't crawl back from
I won't be bound by what’s not true
And I'm not giving into you
And I've gotta say
I feel those shadows growing stronger
Days are getting longer
I've got to say, is it worth another day?
I can't believe that it's gotten to the point where I’ve got to ask these questions
I never thought that I would be here
Moving forward never seeing clear
Staying strong, trying to move on
But I'm exhausted, and I'm fading fast
Let me go
I know now what I’m battling
When I’m feeling down it's just this little thing
In my head that wants me dead
Well that's not me, it's not controlling me
I won't be bound by what’s not true
And I'm not giving into you
And I've gotta say
I feel those shadows growing stronger
Days are getting longer
I've got to say, is it worth another day?
