[intro]
What if I said I lied
What if I said
Every night I think about it, I wanna die
What if I said
That’s why I stay inside and hide
No matter how hard I try I can’t seem to shine
I’m so tired of hiding and want to climb outside
I pry and I pry but I lie and say I’m fine
I want to open my mouth but can’t
My roots are deep and planted
I want to stand and be rebranded
But I can’t take off from where I’ve landed
[drum solo]
[verse1]
I keep circling back to the old me
Stuck on the same road
I long for the change that takes away the damage
Raging against myself everyday in the mirror
Telling myself no one knows this pain
No one else feels the same way
I’m trapped, and held down
Face down on the cold concrete
Wrapped in chains
The demons, demons
Down deep and move discrete
Meeting once a day in secret
I know they have a plan for me
[chorus]
What if I said
What if I said
Welcome to my home this is where I live
Dark and cold, rooms of broken hope
And, shattered glass fill the floor
Old voices behind closed doors
Razor blades on the bed
And, broken bottles on the pillow next to my head
[verse2]
I say
Maybe it’s my fate
I made it myself
I’m the creator
I don’t want to change, I can’t do myself a favor
Maybe I like the pain
Maybe I like the attention
The feeling of loss, it’s gut wrenching
The empty bed with no one to hold
All the things I’ve done and no one to show
Maybe I like it
[SCREAM]
FUCK NO, I HATE IT
NOOOOO
I want to change I want to feel the warmth
A new touch, a hand to hold
I’m tired of the lows
I need some highs
Someone to help me climb
Someone I can call mine
Someone I can be with till the day I die
Then maybe I’ll be fine
[chorus]
What if I said
What if I said
Welcome to my home this is where I live
Dark and cold, rooms of broken hope
And, shattered glass fill the floor
Old voices behind closed doors
Razor blades on the bed
And, broken bottles on the pillow next to my head
[guitar solo]
I run around my mind looking for a face
Something’s lost
I can’t find
I can’t breathe
I’m not seen
Everything’s declining
Eroding the lining
Thinning in time
Changing the defining moment
Mmm…. It’s potent
It’s all
It’s all a
[SCREAM]
BLUR
AAAAAAGGGGHHHHH
ITS ALL A BLUR
[breakdown]
[outro]
I realize there’s damage here
It’s something I should share
And not keep locked up out of fear
I know I have family out there
I’m fortunate to have that
I know some people don’t
I said I won’t
That’ll change I’m trying harder now
Through the courage I’ve found
And just maybe I can come around
But
What if I said
[slow singing]
Welcome to my home this is where I live
Dark and cold, rooms of broken hope
And, shattered glass fill the floor
Old voices behind closed doors
Razor blades on the bed
And, broken bottles on the pillow next to my head
What if I said
