Something in their eyes
Something in the words they chose to say
And how they flowed in sentences so unfamiliar to the space
Watching from behind the scenes
They smile just the same
Slowly catching on to how they're
Never introduced to your full name
Mirror mirror on the wall
Of this Fun House home
Nothing here is as it seems
When you're here alone
How do you know the world is still
Revolving when you close your eyes
How can it be so many lives continue
At the same time
With daydreamed plans
Too bold to share if they fall through
How can it be so many of these strangers mirror you
Mirror mirror on the wall
Make me lose my mind
Is the world revolving still
When I close my eyes
Make a mess out of everything
Trying to set your life straight
And you don't know why the days
Won't unfold fast enough
I've got half a mind to leave
With what I can fit in this suitcase
And walk until I find a place
Where I won't have to use my name
I'll never have to introduce myself by my full name

If I run away
Tell me, who's gonna stop me?
Who's gonna notice?
I'll just abandon all my things and
run to somewhere cold
While the temptation is strongest
Cuz we all learn to hate ourselves
For the things we can't control
We all learn to hate ourselves for
Being who we are
And it scares me that
I know exactly what it is that keeps me going
But I don't plan to ever die
I don't plan on growing old
I'll just deserve the life I'm holding.
I haven't left my room all week
And I feel a lot like death
And I'm not exactly sure if
I have eaten yet
We all learn to hate ourselves
For the things we can't control
We all learn to hate ourselves for
Being who we are
Someday I'll write songs
Of when I slept on your couch
Thinking where I want to be one day
But now I'm laying on my floor
Strumming my guitar
Trying to recreate the songs you always play
I just want to touch one tired heart
God knows I need it too
Let me be someone who knows
What it is that you've been through
I can't say that I didn't do it
But I can't say that i did
And I will try my best to be
Unapologetic
Before we learn to hate ourselves
For the things we can't control
Before we learn to hate ourselves for
Being who we are

It's been so long I've been a mess
That I'm scared to be clean and wash away all the dirt
And the scars and the hurt and the fears
And the burns and the bruises that make me
With so many nights awake I wondered
If I'd ever see brighter words come out of my pen
Then again, behind my eyes there was everything
Everything was shifting slightly
But too soft to notice the changes all happen at once
And in the music I thought that
This city, it might just be beautiful
When I throw out my arms and surrender my balance
I want to be able to say
I swear the air rushing through my fingers
was just a little bit warmer than before
So don't tell me to have sweet dreams
Cuz I 'd rather be excited to wake up and face each day
I can sleep through a nightmare
But I can't live with wishing for what I don't have
There's no view from my rooftop; I hate the heat of the sun
And the spiderwebs caught on my legs
But I'll climb to the top either way
To watch the sunrise fight the skyline
And this city, it might just be beautiful
I see blue in the lights at 2 in the morning
And it's so much easier to pretend
I'm doing better than I was before
So much better than I was before
