I should get new friends

  I made friends with the ghost
And he tells me every night
The flaws in my smile
And in the way I walk and talk

  I'm friends with the monster under my bed
And he tells me every night 
My biggest fears are real
And how I'll never be able to face them

  I'm friends with the demons in my head
But you'll never be able to know them
Because I don't want to give you my weight on my shoulders
Because I'm afraid you can't stand it

I was friends with the wrong people

Because they were the only ones

So I cut the strings off my hands that they used to control me

And cut all ties completely

Tonight I fight my demons once more
And wear my flaws upon my sleeve
I am more than what they tell me
And I am more than how the mirror speaks
