Who You Are

People will hate you and people will love you

No matter who you are, no matter what you do

Yeah, sometimes you hear me cry and you never know why

Honestly neither do I, when I look inside I feel pain

But what I see is nothing at all

Congratulations, you've brainwashed me

You know I hate it when you try to force an answer

It's not like I can say something truthful

When you stare me in a way that makes me shift uncomfortably

I just want to run away

What if I do run away?

Would you chase after me or let me die?

This I can answer, you'd lock me back up in a cage

Take me to hell

"This is where you belong" you'd say

"Don't get me wrong, it's heaven here all along"

Deceiving is what you live for

I don't get what you think's at the Devil's door

Looking for attention

Preventing happiness

Taking away freedom

It's all that you do

It's all you'll ever do

Until I run away

But it isn't enough, so I'll hide.

I'll hide till nobody finds me and I die in a free place

I won't do it, I'm just thinking

I'm only just thinking but what if someday I follow my heart?

Will yours break or did you get what you wanted?

Will you reach regret or an idea of victory?

I don't want you to be happy

I don't want you to be sad

I don't want you to get angry

But won't let you be glad...

Maybe I don't want you to BE at all.

Maybe I'll throw it all at myself like I deserved it all along.

What could go wrong?
