Locked away emotions
I won't let no-one inside
Behind a masked perfection
Is the place I run and hide
Alone I’m always thinking
My mind just fills with dread
Unknotting the confusion
That’s tied up inside my head
Trying to escape thoughts
But I can't find no way out
My eyes are slowly welling
My cries are silenced shouts
I'm looking for the answers
But they just never seem to come
Just reflecting on the torment
And self damage I have done
My love has turned to hatred
My heart has turned to stone
Avoiding crowded places
I’d just rather be alone
Advice to give a younger me
Now with everything I see
Go out there and live your life
Just let your mind be free
