There's a human in me, I assure you. She's just not easy to find. Somewhere, hidden in all the rubble, of people she tried to be. Wearing a thousand masks, One under the other. Groaning under the weight of all the pretense she's carrying. The strength, the courage, the happiness, Everything that isn't hers. Trying to take the off, so she can finally see herself. But there's too much. Hoping that she can hold on for a month, a week, a day... Hoping that hope is enough... There's a human inside me, I assure you. She's just not easy to find.

The human in me
There's a human in me, I assure you. She's just not easy to find. Somewhere, hidden in all the rubble, of people she tried to be. Wearing a thousand masks, One under the other. Groaning under the weight of all the pretense she's carrying. The strength, the courage, the happiness, Everything that isn't hers. Trying to take the off, so she can finally see herself. But there's too much. Hoping that she can hold on for a month, a week, a day... Hoping that hope is enough... There's a human inside me, I assure you. She's just not easy to find.
