Validating

Wanna be able to say
Everything I wanna say
Without feeling a way
That my thoughts need validating
That my thoughts need validating
I've been meditating on this for a while now
I've been misleading with this fake smile how
I'm building up walls miles high now
Storeys and stories I'm tearing down now

So I bottle it up, pour it into music
That's the only way I know how to get through it
Without giving up yelling "damn, screw it!"
Safety ain't in silence I misconstrued it
Was so scared to be perceived as rude when
All I really wanted was to feel heard then
But you didn't even know that I've been hurting
Self-inflicted pain now I know for certain

Wanna be able to say
Everything I wanna say
Without feeling a way
That my thoughts need validating
That my thoughts need validating
I've been meditating on this for a while now
I've been misleading with this fake smile how
I'm building up walls miles high now
Storeys and stories I'm tearing down now

Lone wolf in my mental colosseum
All my shadows man I could really see them
But I didn't know quite how I could beat them
So I really thought that I had to fucking be them
One with the dark, couldn't see my light beaming
Trapped in my mind, couldn't hear my thoughts screaming
Once in a while, in communion with my demon
One day I'll find, how to talk to human beings

Wanna be able to say
Everything I wanna say
Without feeling a way
That my thoughts need validating
That my thoughts need validating
I've been meditating on this for a while now
I've been misleading with this fake smile how
I'm building up walls miles high now
Storeys and stories I'm tearing down now

Tearing them down now
I'm tearing I'm tearing them down now
Tearing them down now
I'm tearing I'm tearing them down now
