(inspired my Get Scared lyrics)
Cold white walls
Keep me from my pad and pen
Searching for my innocence
I cant believe its half this hard
To escape this blinding dark
But this is what it takes to breathe
Searching for the truth underneath
I cannot change what they see
The glass is breaking beneath my feet
All my life I’ve been underwater
Sounds and light, a distant blur
But i will myself to look for the surface
Because I’m ready now to leave my depression
I know that my pain may always exist
But now I know ways to let people in
To let down my guard and except happiness
Lines "cold white walls keep me from my pad and pen" and "this is what it takes to breathe" are not from me, they are from Get Scared.
