I write my songs for an escape from reality, A secret place I go to gain some sanity, Where I can stop thinking about the rate of mortality, Come to terms with my sexuality and gender identity, Find a better, stronger and calmer mentality, A safer sense of normality. My music comes from places of highs and lows, From where I've been bullied by a bunch of hoes, From when I've been left all alone when everyone goes, Their seperate ways to bloom and grow, But I know I can remodel my lump of dough, To fix and edit my personality, To fit in with no sense of finality. __________________________________________________________________________________ My music is my original work, They all belong to me, occasionally having some cowriters who will be tagged in the chapter of the song they helped with. Sit back Chelax and read "An Escape From Reality."
