This is a story I wrote
Of a man so alone
All he needed is hope
So he can find his way home
He's got his heart, he's got his words
He plays it smart, he won't get hurt
All he wanted is to be heard
But he's afraid of getting burned
All he's known is so much hate
So much pressure to be fake
Turned his world into grey
Can you take it all away?
Never had a real model
Someone who knows him like a father
Why would anybody bother
He'll never be like the others
Never let anyone see
What he really wanted to be
He hides behind his smiles
Suffocating all the while
If you looked what would you see
A soul fighting to break free
Or just a sad comedy
Only I know because he's me
I wrote this story
I made this for me
I set the demons free
Locked my heart inbetween
Set fire to the fuse
Said I had nothing left to lose
But nothing is was I was afraid of losing
A slave to my fear of choosing
Now my shackles are weightless
My demons are shapeless
If I'm going to face this
I'm going to have to replace this
I'm not writing in blood
Not writing in stone
It's never enough
And I'm not writing alone
This is a chapter of war
A story of more
A legacy at the core
Won't stop till I'm sure
Lets burn these pages and breathe the ashes
Echo through the ages when this sky crashes
My words shake the ground where I shout
Watch your ears when I come screaming it out
I'm not backing down never letting go
Never going back till I put on a show
So sit back and watch me light the night
You're coming for the ride so hold on tight
Cause this story is for you and I
I'm writing the words to make it right
I hope you've got your pen cause you're not staying here
It time to run for our lives till there's nothing to fear
I'm swinging these bars wide open
And I know I've got you hoping
So just let everything go
And soon you'll know
You'll never hurt again I promise you so
Spill your heart and let your ink flow
