Welcome friends To seconds lost, and to starts that won't begin To twisted eyes that see inside Rules that always bend A simple task, a see-through mask That questions where and why We shared our skin to occupy, and keep our piece of mind Bring only what you...

Excuse the mess, I didn't see you from behind I caught a glimpse, but the reflection's only mine It's almost like I'm paralyzed and locked outside myself What I don't need is to concede because I won't be someone else I am not perfect and I don't claim to be A...

It’s 8 AM, this hell I’m in Seems I’ve crossed a line again For being nothing more than who I am So break my bones and throw your stones We all know that life ain’t fair But there’s more of us we’re everywhere We don’t have to take this back against the...
