How
How can I express myself to you?
To you, someone who has no clue
What it’s like to live this kind of life
How can I say what I feel inside
When I hardly feel like I’m alive
And the demons come chasing me in the night?
How can you explain yourself to me?
To me, someone who has never seen
What it’s like to live a happy life
How can you say what you fear
When it’s something I can’t hear
Over the voices screaming in my mind?
Behind my eyes there are my memories
All of the things that have been haunting me
And they play over and over
In my mind there is music, blissfully
Attempting to hide the imagery
Of pain and fear
Of cuts and tears
Of hands
Traveling to forbidden lands
Of teeth
Grinding, accepting defeat
How can I explain myself to you
To you, someone who never knew
What it’s like to be me?
