Surrounded by people I knew
Thought they would support me through and through
But I tell them who I really am, they turn their backs and flee
I'm thrown into a mental cage
It's not looking so great from way up here
But I just wanted to be me

Lying in my bed, the thoughts swirling around in my head
When will I be able to leave all of this behind?
The world's spinning round and round, I am just a part of it
Hateful comments all around, I don't wanna make a slit
Mental state is getting worse, everything is turning black
Sometimes this feels like a curse, one of these days I'm gonna crack

Walking down the road, never get the respect that I am owed
But this world is cruel, and those people cannot get to me anymore
I'm slowly making progress now
Building my brain a little house inside my skull
Any problems and I am locking the door

My mind leads me astray
But I'm trying my best and I hope that you stay
Trying to uncover a way for the real me to unwind
I still need a lot of work, telling people who I am
Really hope they aren't a jerk, Butterflies in my diaphragm
The future's looking up from here
Everything's falling into place
My happiness is growing near

It was a difficult path but worth it for real
I omitted details I'll never reveal
If I tell you I'm a girl, you better agree
All these problems that came to be, just hope you see
It was a difficult path but worth it for real
I omitted details I'll never reveal
If I tell you I'm a girl, you better agree
All these problems that came to be, I just want to be me

Hey, if you're hearing this, I just want to say thank you
No matter if you supported me or not
You shaped me into who I am today
And for that, I'm grateful. That's about it
See ya!
