I turn the music up loud
to block out the noise
I put on my headphones
so I can't hear my voice
The guitars are blasting sounds
that are taking away my pain
the words are making me cry
and making me sweat like rain
My teeth are chattering from the cold
I'm afraid I'll get yelled at
I'm afraid to leave my room
I don't want to get screamed at
I'm afraid to be myself
I can't be something that I'm not
I'm tired of being depressed
and hating what I don't got
I turn the music off
I can hear myself cry
I really can't leave my room
but I'm afraid I'll have to try
I take my headphones off
I turn off my bedroom light
I fall asleep in my warm bed
and let everything fall into the night.
