Coward

This is the part of your life they don't teach at school It doesn't look cool But if you're a kid like me, it's not hard to see how the world can be Looking through a coward's eyes Under a disguise So they'll think you're not out of your mind They'll save your words Just to put you straight back down, it's an evil town Where thoughts are broken, screams are spoken This town's my head, and I've been mislead To think about overthinking what I've said But I never said nothing Nor I ever said something Why'd I, why'd I have to go Saying things for show So my mouth hides who I am Now it's time to see, we are all alone Nowhere to call home So I'll pack and run away But sleep's great refuge for today I'm anything but social, but my tongue remains brave Since it's always finding words and phrases that I need to save From saying, keep them hidden or the words might die Because I'm just another human trying harder not to lie Everybody's tripping and slipping around the earth While we're cashing in our money just to look at what we're worth But we're not worth nothing No, everybody's worth a little more Why'd I, why'd I have to go Saying things for show So my mouth hides who I am Now it's time to see, we are all alone Nowhere to call home So I'll pack and run away But sleep's great refuge for today I'll watch the world by day In a cowards hideaway But every night I sit in fright, too scared to run away I'll shout what I conceal These dreams will help me heal Until my screams invade my dreams Nightmares aren't what they seem I've been climbing up a tree to count all the different coloured leaves left out Its just another way of saying it's okay Our mouths are shut but we've got things to say Why Why'd I have to go? Saying things for show So my mouth hides who I am Why'd I, why'd I have to go Saying things for show So my mouth hides who I am Now it's time to see, we are all alone Nowhere to call home So I'll pack and run away But sleep's great refuge for today
