Is this the way I am
It doesn't feel right
There's so much on my mind, so much on my mind
That it drives me crazy
That I can't sleep at night
Gotta let it out
And don't tell me I look so silent
I already hate myself enough
All my misery is forever
I must have caught it in my sleep
I want to leave this place forever
Made a fool of myself like always
And when I go
I won't be missed and I won't be loved
I can't express this no matter how hard I try
This isn't me
I'm leaving this shell behind
Finding someone who won't be surprised that it's gone
The world in color
And words like water
With bright eyes on an honest face
Don't tell me it's hopeless because I want it to be true
I'm not insane
Tell me I'm not insane
Tell me it's all going to change
