Equals

Shouting words at a mirror
Trying to find the hero
I don't want to let any of you down

I see me on the floor of a room inside
My own house with a set of darker eyes
Distortion shows row to open doors
I closed for good reasons years before

Growing up, I was told one too many times
I'd never be good enough, never be alright
See, I'm an equal like you with fears
I'm not above or below. My only home is here
Want you to know I sometimes let go

Shouting words at a mirror
Trying to find the hero
They all say I am
The voice behind these verses
Is still so far from perfect
I don't want to let any of you down

Kick, kick, kick myself, numbed up to reacquaint with hell
Lost touch and stared off into doubt
Depersonalized in a cloud
Trading afflictions for imperfections

Shouting words at a mirror
Trying to find the hero
They all say I am
The voice behind these verses
Is still so far from perfect
I don't want to let any of you down

Because I have troubles I hide
And emotions that I cry
And I am not strong sometimes
I, too, need song to save my life

Run from self harm
Experiencing alterations
(Run from self harm.)
No control over self-perception
(Run from self harm.)
I am on outside bones observing these skeletons
(Get away) I hate the darkness
(Get away) I turn all the lights on

Shouting words at a mirror
Shouting words at a mirror
Shouting words at a mirror
Trying but I can't find the hero
Shouting words at a mirror
Trying to find the hero
They all say I am
This voice behind these verses
Is still so far from perfect
I don't want to let any of you down

Because I have troubles I hide
And emotions that I cry
But I will get through this just fine
We have each other to remind
