Hell

I carry burdens no one ever sees

A painted mask to hide the pain in me

The memories spin like a broken wheel

Of stolen youth and wounds that never heal

I bite my tongue and play the part so well

But silence chains me to my private hell

I don’t wanna hide I wanna break free

Let the world see the real damn me

But will they stay or turn to run

When they meet the girl they left undone

The quiet kid they never chose to claim

Who learned love burns brighter than its flame

They took their fill then threw me to the dirt

Like I was nothing but their teenage hurt

I bite my tongue and play the part so well

But silence chains me to my private hell

I don’t wanna hide I wanna break free

Let the world see the real damn me

But will they stay or turn to run

When they meet the girl they left undone

I don’t wanna hide I wanna break free

Let the world see the real damn me

But will they stay or turn to run

When they meet the girl they left undone
