Running away from who I am
Keep on posting on Instagram
Keeping up with social image
Never exploring my limits
Nobody should know I am a mess
Everybody thinks I am #blessed
I must confess
Behind this made-up face and pretty dress
I am distressed
People think I have no problems
Scrolling through and looking at all the models
I have hit rock bottom
Poisoning myself with these toxins
It just makes me nauseous
People just assume they know me
They are obnoxious
Guess I got to put my fake face on
I am far gone
Just a pawn
In this huge game of never-ending chess
Nevertheless
I just have to keep on moving on
Accepting I am the black swan
I am the oppressed
He's hurting
He pushed me away
I'm not sure what to say
The fact that I cared
Made him scared
He won't even try
All he said was goodbye
I want to be there
Run fingers through his hair
I'm trying to let him go
My heart says no
The longer I stay
The harder it is to walk away
1,2,3,4
Get off the dance floor
5,6,7,8
Just go home and take a break
9,10,11,12
Can't wait to see you burn in hell
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But words can pierce your soul
Thought I could block it out with my headphones
Always pushing me down a never-ending hole
Pain never goes
Light never stays
The only thing that remains
Are you in my embrace
Waiting for the time to pass me by
Caught between all of my lies
Can't give a single reason why
Blinking tears from my eyes
I love the night
Everything will be alright
It is the perfect time
Seeing all white
Not trying to fight
Who gives a ****
Unleashing who I really am
Stopped acting as if I am in an exam
No need to lie
No need to deny
I can fly
If I only let go and say goodbye
Why do I feel so empty inside
Like everything is gone; my ego, my pride
Nobody knows how much I tried to put it aside
How much I tried to laugh
Everything is frozen like a photograph
Worn out by the pain
Too numb to explain
It makes me go insane
The only thing which will help me survive
Is it ignore it and get on with my life
