Everyday is a new nightmare
I know I'll never escape,
there's a feeling inside me
that I can't explain.
It's on the tip of my tongue
but changes its shape,
it's on the run,
now it's invading my brain.
I'll never be freed from this monster I feed,
I want to tell them I'm not what they see,
I'm a lost spirit trapped in the sea
of expectations made for me.
Society tells me makeup is magic,
it covers my flaws, it fixes my face.
Apparently I'm broken, my true self is tragic,
I'm sick of the twisted, unmerciful hate.
Now I'm breaking out
of these everlasting chains
that bind me until I have
no sanity that remains.
I'll never be freed from this monster I feed,
I want to tell them I'm not what they see,
I'm a lost spirit trapped in the sea
of expectations made for me.
