Lyrics

There’s a space between the truth and who I am
A boy and a man forgetting all I once had
I try to stand tall but I fade
This is my story as I stay afraid

I tried to make friends but they turn away
And slowly I watch all my days stay grey
All their voices grow loud till I fall
I land in the dark no one sees me at all

We don’t call it what it is
People only see what fits

It’s complicated
He’s lost and frustrated

If it doesn’t have a name
No one sees the shame
They don’t hear the screams
And he’s losing all his dreams

No one sees the scars he hides as he climbs
Every waking moment he wishes he’d rewind
Wanting to be free to have his wings wide
And yet he’s alone on the ride

The pain gets too much for me to hold
I start to think no one cares if I’m gone
They tell me to keep trying keep moving along
So maybe I won’t have to keep up the show

But then I wake again
Sobbing till someone comes
Another strike lands and I feel the pain

No one asks if I’m okay
No one will catch me pull me back today

We don’t call it what it is
People only see what fits

It’s complicated
He’s lost and frustrated

If it doesn’t have a name
No one sees the shame
They don’t hear the screams
And he’s losing all his dreams

It’s just me and the ledge once more
Eight times I survived
Now the ninth finds me alone
