Hiding behind my smile.
Hiding behind the sparkle in my eyes.
Hiding behind who I am inside.
Hiding behind the tears I cry.
Hiding behind one big lie.
Hiding from the voices in my head.
Hiding from the blood I've shed.
Hiding from the pain I've caused.
Hiding from all my flaws.
Hiding all the scars I've made.
Hiding all my razor blades.
Hiding all my feelings still.
Hiding what i wish wasn't real.
Deep down I can see the real me,
that's all covered up by this scarred body.
One day I won't have to hide who I am,
I will come out from my mind, be proud of who I am.

Hiding behind my smile.
Hiding behind the sparkle in my eyes.
Hiding behind who I am inside.
Hiding behind the tears I cry.
Hiding behind one big lie.
Hiding from the voices in my head.
Hiding from the blood I've shed.
Hiding from the pain I've caused.
Hiding from all my flaws.
Hiding all the scars I've made.
Hiding all my razor blades.
Hiding all my feelings still.
Hiding what i wish wasn't real.
Deep down I can see the real me,
that's all covered up by this scarred body.
One day I won't have to hide who I am,
I will come out from my mind, be proud of who I am.
Life is like a big game of Hide and Seek, but he who hides too well is never found.
