Verse 1: I feel like my life is a lie. Keeping a million secrets at once feels like too much. When everything is let out I have to watch the war. When its over I have more scars than anyone. Standing in the middle is hard when you're pulled from both sides. Being there for both sides is hard when you're called a traitor, but not being there makes you look like you don't care. My problem is that I care too much, but I can't stop it. I pretend to be who I always wanted to be.
Chorus: You think you know me like you do all your other friends, but we've never met. You've been talking to my mask. I can't help to hold back. I'd be me, but I just can't. No one has ever wanted to get to know me so I assumed that I wasn't worth knowing. This mask I keep showing kills me inside, but still keeps me going. I feel bad just talking to you because you're not really talking to me. One side of me is your best friend and the other has never met you. I try to shove myself in the raw truth all around.
Verse 2: What's going on? Who are you? Are you hiding behind a mask too? Are you really who you are? Do you have the same scar on your mind? On your soul? My psyche. I can't decide if you like me. You've never known the girl you see everyday. This doesn't make sense in anyway. Everyday of my life is on replay. It's like the future is on delay.
Chorus: You think you know me like you do all your other friends, but we've never met. You've been talking to my mask. I can't help to hold back. I'd be me, but I just can't. No one has ever wanted to get to know be so I assumed that I wasn't worth knowing. This mask I keep showing kills me inside, but still keeps me going. I feel bad just talking to you because you're not really talking to me. One side of me is your best friend and the other has never met you. I try to shove myself in the raw truth all around.
Verse 3: It feels like there has been a war. A war inside myself. My mind fought my heart. This whole conflict has torn me apart. When the cannon's smoke finally cleared up my pain showed. My heart fought for the people I love and my mind fought for what was right, but now I know there are no winners in war. When pain, sorrow, and fear are all I know, how can I trust anybody in this world?
Chorus: You think you know me like you do all your other friends, but we've never met. You've been talking to my mask. I can't help to hold back. I'd be me, but I just can't. No one has ever wanted to get to know be so I assumed that I wasn't worth knowing. This mask I keep showing kills me inside, but still keeps me going. I feel bad just talking to you because you're not really talking to me. One side of me is your best friend and the other has never met you. I try to shove myself in the raw truth all around.

Songs I Wrote
PoetryHere are some songs I wrote. The ones that end in (Old Song) are ones I wrote when I was 14. They're not all that good, but I thought it'd be cool to have my old songs here alongside my new ones. I think it shows how much I've changed and improved...
