How do I end up in this bizzare world, is it normal?
How do I go back to where I came from, was I off it all?
You counted every second that we spent inside their prison
Brought us here from beyond the high fences and Gates then
Could you please explain, why I never thought of leaving
Why I always dreamt of looking up at the stars
Is there some other way of trying to be thankful
Why do they always act so shameful

Your lipstick smile, your polished nails
Your lovely eyes, always saw through betrayal

Save what I hid in my closet, from the monsters under my bed
Save what I hid from father, from the trolls of the internet
It wasn't gonna be easy, they said
It never ever gets easy, why still talk now?

Do you like to run on a wheel, coz you're spinnin round and round all day
Do you like the white flashes, does it act as a band aid
Do you like to flash what you got hidden in your mouth
Do you always have to live, and talk how you live, come on now

I said they don't wait up, they're tired
Your words wake them up, they wouldn't rather be tired
You gotta know where to keep your feet
Coz yes you'll lose balance, you'll lose all your fears

Say it now, move slow
Hope is yet to come, you got nowhere to go
Shame grows like disease
You gotta try and get back up on your feet

Who else in this world is tired
Of everybody making you feel like you don't have a home...
Somebody struck a chord with me today... The person made me realise that I am better than what they believe I've become... THEY don't determine me, I do
