I tried to hide my pain
Until it became too much to bear
Just passing through daily mistakes
Feeling ashamed of my past deeds
Flickering memories woke up an urge in me
That can be my undoing
Came so close
My heart wants to let go
But my mind is holding on
Longing for buried truth
Buried so deep
These issues that I keep
The dark clouds storming in
Haunting me
I became like a chameleon
Changing my identity through each scene
Blending in just to feel numb
Dreams that haunt me
Is like a child searching for a treasure
Unwanted advances follow me everywhere I go
Misunderstanding and assumptions
It gets harder to uncover
The innocent is lost and broken down until it becomes normal
Broken pieces get harder to find
The truth that I rely on
Spending years looking for that peace
From these chains that I carry
