Who I Am

[Verse 1: The Kevin Bennett]
Pacing up and down empty roads
Destination unknown
Swollen feet and two broken ankles
I still don't trip on my toes
They ain't got a clue what run through my mind
Thoughts are racing with shoes untied
It threw me for a loop when I did not fit into places
But I needed to try on my own size

So I wonder why I don't get to be like everybody else
They talk while I'm quiet in the corner by myself
So shy, introverted, getting nervous
When I'm looking in the mirror, see a person that could use a little help
Yeah, I know I can't help it
Hood pulled up, mask on way before the pandemic
Eyes all black like the ink in my pen is
Face all white like a ghost in my presence

[PreChorus: The Kevin Bennett]
They wonder why I'm so apprehensive
Ask myself why I feel this way
But I always leave with unanswered questions
Placed myself behind closed doors
In the shadows, I don't understand it
I never will, so I guess it's time that I
Just accept it

[Chorus: The Kevin Bennett]
This is who I am
Never see me open
Only know to close it
This is who I am
Yeeeeah
Lurking in the shadows
Waiting on my moment
This is who I am
This is who I am
This is who I am
Who I am

[Verse 2: Zach B.]
I've been trying to figure it out
Why I'm always the one comparing me to somebody else
And I would always keep it in about the way that I felt
Look, I was never really good at taking care of myself
It's hard to speak, especially about me
I was so committed and just couldn't break free
Wouldn't ever think about anything safely
And nobody can hate as much as I hate me

So I stayed shy and I never lost the mask
At the same time I could've forgot the past
When I'm wishing for joy, results are just sad
Hide darkness inside, my heart is now black
All that, still I don't even know my worth yet
Almost like I pretend like I've got purpose
Here we go again 'cause they know I'm hurt
I always struggle finding ways to word it

[Prechorus: Zach B.]
They wonder why I'm so apprehensive
Ask myself why I feel this way
But I always leave with unanswered questions
(This is who I am)
Placed myself behind closed doors
In the shadows, I don't understand it
I never will, so I guess it's time that I
Just accept it

[Chorus: The Kevin Bennett]
This is who I am
Never see me open
Only know to close it
This is who I am
Yeeeeah
Lurking in the shadows
Waiting on my moment
This is who I am
This is who I am
This is who I am
Who I am
