I'm like a burning forest inside
Whenever a small wind blows, I only get worse
I'm like a flowing river inside
Whenever I hit a rock, I bend and I splash
And I keep doing and doing and doing and doing, doing and doing
Things I said I'll never do
All they do is judge me
Cause no one understands
No one gets things I'm going through
I keep thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking
Things I never thought I'd think
They always judge me
Cause no one understands
No one gets things I'm going through
And I keep feeling and feeling and feeling and feeling and feeling and feeling
Things I don't know why I feel
Why are they judging
Yet they never took the time to really get what I'm going through
So I keep taking and taking and taking and taking and taking and taking
Things I swore I'd never take
And now they judge me
Cause they never understand
What I'm going through
If there's a prayer I pray
Every night and day
I wanna be free
And live my life
I wanna be happy
And live without wearing a mask
I just wanna be me
And just live my life
I wanna be happy
And live without the fear of being judged
My skeletons have escaped the comfort of the closet
They claim the couch closest to my mind
Lately I've been hearing voices, noises
Their loud resounding sounds
Whisper distorted reality, anxiety
My sanity whisked away
I'm jailed in chains
Endless trains of thought
Of course I've gone
Of course I've grown
But dark phases trodden hope
Dark places, hidden nights on end
I rest less
Endless acres of darkness, hopelessness
My skeletons no longer live in the closet
They dance with the monsters in my head
But I long to be free
Free my backbone, spine
Interlocked, intertwined with the wild
Vile vines of depression
Free my breaking back from this whip
Free my sinking soul from this soaking spirit
No need for wines and spirits to calm my whining spirit
Thoughts and shorts won't set me free
I yearn to be free
So let me clear my closet of skeletons
Clear my head of escalated thorns
I long to be alone in my mind
To be free, untouched
Just be me
Without this mask
Just wanna do my thing
Just wanna do me
Just wanna be let be
Just wanna be me
I wanna be free
Let me be me, let me be me
Let me be me
No more chains
No more mask
No more stress
No more fake
Just be me
Just be me
Just be me
Just be me
