I see the monster that lies underneath
The beauty that covers the beast
The corset that complicates the need to breath
And in all your sleek, shiny feats
It's me who watches beneath
Beneath a surface so crystal and cold
Like slow melting gold
I see all you are
Each and everyone of you
Because you can't hide
From my clear blue eyes
Though sure you can try.
But you
You see nothing of me
I plaster it up
Duct tape and stickers
Fold over my holes
The ones in my heart and my skin
And the ones beneath even them
You can't see me
Not who I am really
No one cares to look that far
That deep
No one wants to see the ugly truths that lie beneath
We're all just scared sheep
Following a wolf dressed in wool
Posing for pictures and stepping in line
Doing a dance to make sure you're liked
Oh how hilarious
You thought you had a choice
Like you weren't being brain washed since you were young girls and boys
I'm no better
Slipping between worlds
In and out of two states of mind
Right and left brain and a whole separate life
I doubt anyone cares
I doubt anyone sees
Not like I'm walking around saying 'please,'
'Please, notice my screams please notice how pain comes with so much ease.'
Yeah I'm alive but I feel like I'm drowning
Between water and world my heads over clouding
Someone please see me
My every breath
My every thought
Someone please understand the pain beneath the pleasantries
Because I'm not all ruby slippers and pigtails
There's a lion behind this plaid dress
And she's no coward
She's dying to claw out
Just to be seen
Just to be heard
Because the screams aren't enough
So I don't know what else to do
What else to say
At the end of the day
I click my heals to go home
But no tornado whisks me away
And I dread my house lien I do my school
My friends make me feel like a broken fool
Someone please hear me
Like Horton hears a who
You heard it here first
The pain
It's all true
