i m so good at hiding whats underneath but i only reflect what i want you to see i ll take what i can find reframe this state of mind and ignore the words of spite that make me feel worthless another day sleeping in too late i repress the pain and hope i get some relief slowly starting to fade but the colour remains i am an optimist and i see the world in grey discretion must have lost its place between these dull white walls to form a barricade to close an open mind distort the wrong from right and reject who s unalike because you can t accept i ve come unstuck from all that i ve been taught you re out of luck because i m not what you want you broke my trust when you swore you d protect me but all i ve got were these scarring memories another day sleeping in too late i repress the pain and hope i get some relief slowly starting to fade but the colour remains i am an optimist and i see the world in grey on the edge i can finally see just how much your words cut through me but i won t be held back by all i ve ever known so i pick myself up and stand fine on my own i hate the permanence but i ll guess i ll work with it it s stuck inside my head and what can i say i ll take it day by day in light of these open eyes you still find a way to pollute my life and it shows i know that someday i ll make it out but for now hardship takes its toll i hate the permanence but i ll guess i ll work with it it s stuck inside my head what the fuck can i say i ll take it day by day because i am an optimist and i see the world in grey slowly starting to fade but the colour remains
