 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Moments of hesitation
Turned to days that turned to years
And each and every time you try to speak
Your protests fell upon deaf ears

They put you on a pedestal you never asked for
Sink their teeth into your limbs
It might seem antithetical to what they taught you
But their word doesn't mean anything

When love goes by a different name
Nothing can remain the same
Don't spend a second more pretending this is what you wanted

Don't let them stop you from screaming
Don't be their silent thing
This song is yours to sing
And yours alone

It can't be unwritten but you can change the meaning
A single step is all it takes to start again
It's not too late

It's just like any other day
I sink into the soil and watch myself decay
They circle 'round me all the same
Painting my corpse to spare themselves the shame

Every step I take is in the wrong direction
And nothing's ever good enough to please them all
Every day I look into a sick reflection
And wait for one of us to fall

I know how much it hurts to doubt
But I question what it's all about
Am I still afraid
Of how I've just been running away from myself?
