Sitting in a crowded room covering every open inch of skin
Smiling through gritted teeth, trying so desperately to fit in
You look in the mirror, you don't like what you see
Trying to fake a smile, but those whispers keep seeping in
Keeping cool under pressure, but now it's caving in
Keeping cool under pressure, but now it's caving in
"I'm not like them" you scream, I'm not one of them
"I'm not like them" you scream, I'm not one of them
You try change your skin to fit in, grasping at every word
Like it's your only chance to live, but now you're
Screaming, kicking, hitting, running
Shouting why oh why why me?
You think you're perfect? Then why don't you define me
Define me
Hiding under layers and layers of self doubt that you wear
Line me up, hey! batter up! It really ain't fair
Using me as a punching bag to block out the noise
Using me as a punching bag before you start to explode
You look in the mirror, see the scars lining your wrist
Losing your cool as the walls start caving in
"You're not like them" you scream, you're not one of them
"You're not like them" you scream, you're not one of them
You try change your skin to fit in, grasping at every word
Like it's your only chance to live, but now you're
Screaming, kicking, hitting, running
Shouting why oh why why me?
You think you're perfect? Then why don't you define me
Define me
We all of hearts, we all have battles to face
You're not the author of my fight
We all of hearts, we all have battles to face
You won't make me break
Stand up (It's time to stand up)
Stand up (It's time to stand up)
You try change your skin to fit in, grasping at every word
Like it's your only chance to live, but now you're
Screaming, kicking, hitting, running
Shouting why oh why why me?
You think you're perfect? Then why don't you define me
Define me
