I stand here today
Cause I have a story to tell you all
I'm breaking this wall
And I'm only going to tell you the truth
Honestly I don't know where to begin
It started out for me looking into the mirror
Seeing my eyes and my smile
If you see in my eyes,
it's true sorrow
If you see what lies beneath that smile of mine,
it's a cry
It's a cry for help
I'm dying
Ever so slowly
Intoxicating my lungs with
sadness and depression
I used to see myself the quiet one
Here I am opening up to you
Why should you even care?
Cause I know what's it like to be judged
I know how it feels to look in the mirror
and not recognize yourself
who you truly are
I see the scars that tell a story
A story that is far more depressing than I can handle
I've lived through it everyday
I see it and live with it through my daily life
If you only realize
what hides behind these eyes
You'll see that I've been crying
Crying in my sleep
Fear that I'll end up the same
Being depressed
Being stressed
Being forgotten
But I hold on and put a smile on my face
I don't want anyone in
because I know they'll think it's all a bunch of BS
For me I know what's it like to be judged
I'm scared that I have to face it
one day or another
But in time you'll realize
That the boy standing here today
Wouldn't be different if it wasn't for his writing and dancing
He wouldn't have made it out alive
He would be in the back in the room
No one would notice
the tears that slowly starts from his eyes
None would notice the scars that he hides
What lies behind these boys eyes
Is true sorrow
He always hoped for a better tomorrow
To be out of the tunnel of darkness
Into the light
Into the world he wanted to belong
But all along he just waited for
something magical to happen
He stands here today because he knows
he finally made it
He made himself and what he is today
From his depression to his
resurrection
Honestly he wouldn't be here today
He probably will still be in a mess
Depressed
Stressed
Anxious
Shy
Silent
Just isolated from human kind
And into his world of music and writing
But he broke free from his cage
He is now free
He is finally resurrected
He finally changed for the better
Out of his sad days that were sorrow
Now he is healed and ready for a new tomorrow. . .
