On and off a lot weighs on my heart Heavy on my chest don’t know where to start I’ve gotten lots of paper cuts while writing my book There’s chapters where it hurts to go back and look Pages that are just too hard to read Hard to understand... like trigonometry In school I never took that class but it’s probably really difficult if you’re bad at math Life is like math or kind of like an onion They both have the potential to make you cry in a sudden Like in the middle of the day when you shouldn’t be emotionally unstable but you are cause that one chapter and it’s little sad ending left a huge fu king scar And I don’t write this for anyone but myself cause there’s feelings I wanna yell and emotions I wanna shout To bury the shame and the doubt and regret And pull the bullet out that’s gone straight through my head Bullets are like onions and math I’d assume they all can make you cry But pulling it out is harder, when your own fingers are digging inside Or by the fingers of another person Ripping apart your wounds Is a scar ever really healed if it can still bruise I’m not angry, just a little salty Cause there’s things I don’t want to remember that tend to haunt my memeory I’d rather have a nice lunch with my demons make them friends Then share my **** with people who won’t understand But how will I ever know if I don’t ever try I think you ****** me up too much to even try And I’m standing on the stage, naked in a nightmare shaking and afraid Cause we trip over our humanity just to be fake wearing religion and hypocrisy to the big masquerade And here I’m standing in front of the crowd called life Imagining everyone in their underwear I heard that makes it seem alright And I think it really does help if we tear down our walls if we share our truth our raw emotion our biggest downfalls Unite the solidarity I’m not the only one who’s ****** up You won’t find me wallowing in my sadness often but it’s there And I don’t make this **** up
