I think I hide my secrets too well
People turn away when they can't tell
They think I'm happy when I'm not
Doing me a favor when I'm shot
Slap a color, paint some stripes
Say some words, you'll be alright
I wish I could be just as free
As your social media seem to be
I'm sorry I lied to stay safe
I'm sorry you won't look me in the eye
Not that you'd want to anyway
All the fractures that I hide
Sometimes I hate the architecture
Sometimes I hate the stage
Sometimes feel the freedom
Sometimes I'm trapped in the cage
My dear social justice warriors
Thank you for your fight
Someday I'll find the courage
To draw from your light
