I will not hide

This side of my mind

Sometimes, it goes

Up, down, hurled to the ground, now

Choke out all my sounds

Out, and watch me drown, now

Bleeding from my mouth, how'd

I get into this, somehow

Cut me up

And silence me but I'll

Give everything

Wipe off the blood and grit my teeth

Armor up and watch me swing

Under my nerves below

I'll grow, grow a backbone

Oh no, oh no, oh no what did just happen

Fell out of my skin

See my whole world shaking

Ground underneath is breaking

My nightmares are now waking

Fear now seeping in

Pause everything

Keep on moving, don't cave in

Don't listen to these voices

Block out all these screams

Keep on moving forward

Stronger I will be

Though my world is spinning

Up, down, hurled to the ground, now

Choke out all my sounds

Out, and watch me drown, now

Bleeding from my mouth, how'd

I get into this, somehow

Cut me up

And silence me but I'll

Give everything

Wipe off the blood and grit my teeth

Armor up and watch me swing

Under my nerves below

I'll grow, grow a backbone

Oh why, oh why, oh why, why did this happen

Never should have been

Don't think I deserve this

Just making me feel worthless

Cracking at the surface

Fear now seeping in

Pause everything

Keep on moving, don't cave in

Don't listen to these voices

Block out all these screams

Keep on moving forward

Stronger I will be

Though my world is spinning

Turn off, the lights

The brightness stings and burns my eyes

Just want to go away, tonight but I

Jolt up, see myself go down a deep and downward spiral

But things won't be the same

Won't be the same this time

Up, down, hurled to the ground, now

Choke out all my sounds

Out, and watch me drown, now

Bleeding from my mouth, how'd

I get into this, somehow

Cut me up

And silence me but I'll

Give everything

Wipe off the blood and grit my teeth

Armor up and watch me swing

Under my nerves below

I'll grow, grow a backbone

Up, down, hurled to the ground, now

Choke out all my sounds

Out, and watch me drown, now

Bleeding from my mouth, how'd

I get into this, somehow

Cut me up

And silence me but I'll

Give everything

Wipe off the blood and grit my teeth

Armor up and watch me swing

Under my nerves below

I'll grow, grow a backbone
