There's a better man in me
Fighting to come out
He doesn't like what others see
A vision of hate and doubt
He's the one with all the joy
He's the one that laughs
But he's trapped inside this void
On an island with no raft
Oh please won't you help him out
Help him to see the light
Like water through a spout
Or the moon shines through the night

I put a brave face on for you all to see. The smiling polite young man expected of me. Can't you see my eyes don't smile at you anymore. Filled with a pain of betrayal they look to the floor.
I never walk when i can run, don't believe i ever could. People try to slow me down saying boy you really should, kick back and chill, cause i cant stand still.
Sick of rules, They should be broken. I'll rebel, Yes, I'm outspoken. Sick of lines, That I can't 'cross', Try to stop me, It's your loss.
Untouched. The slow caress files the roughness of his skin like sandpaper. The dryness of his skin, the desert that is his soul. Unwanted. A paperback that never left the shelf.
Expectations make me, To them I am a mould, A piece of dough to take and shape, To have and then to hold.
I'm far from perfect, but I'm also far from being the man I portray. I'm not difficult, but I'm far from simple.
I need to vent my anger. By standing in the rain. I need to vent my anger. To wash away all my pain. When the rain falls. They can't see my tears. My heavy, hot tears. That burn down with my fears.
The words they get stuck in my throat, My heart's lodged with a shard. I never knew I'd struggle so much, That this would be so hard.
