I'm tired of pleasing other people's wants
Of making them feel comfortable
I'm looking out for me now
Cause this fake stuff has caused me trouble
I'm tryna buy time figure out who I am
My whole life I've been someone else
But for now I'm gonna keep on writing stuff
Not be ashamed of what I've always felt
Cause music's how I've always dealt
Home is the place where a kid should feel safe
A place where he can be himself
For so long I've been hidden in the basement
Keeping my feeling's shelved
I'm tired of keeping my heart closed off
Feeling like Fort Knox
Hold my emotions in
And feel like I'm tapping on the glass of my own mime box
God help me find my sound
Help me be my own
I've been lost so long
And now I'm finding home
I cried myself to sleep most nights
Feeling so alone cause I felt like no one cared
But they were reaching out reaching out
I reached out but pulled on my heart and put it aside
And thought that I could deal with my problems that way
But life like doesn't work like that
Emotions demand to be felt
But for so long I felt numb
Cause I felt none of the things I had to deal with
Before I could be happy
It's true things get worse before they get better
But that's the joy in the pain
You can always come out stronger if you just
Hold on
Get on
Live on
Be strong
Fight on
Fight on
Fight on
Beyond
Live on
Enjoy the pain
God help me find my sound
Help me be my own
I've been lost so long
And now I'm finding home
