Let It Out

Sometimes I feel like
I'm putting on a fake smile just to seem right
Caught up on fear of isolation
But we've all got grief to hide
And when I feel weak
I tend to keep my mouth shut like I can't speak
We conceal our thoughts
But share our sympathy

It's funny how the highs and lows
Differ in the ways they show
Masked by false security
While smothering our inner ghosts
Now everything I've trapped within
Is itching to escape my skin
I'll let it go before I fall

Let it out
Alone again
No comfort from my head
Filled with compulsive thoughts
And existential dread
It makes me sick
Watching this plague set in
So I'll take a breath
And let it out instead

My sanity is wearing thin
A common enemy surrounding everything
Collectively have we not been through enough?
If we keep holding back our true emotions we're fucked

It's funny how the highs and lows
Differ in the ways they show
Masked by false security
While smothering our inner ghosts
Now everything I've trapped within
Is itching to escape my skin
I'll let it go before I fall

Let it out
Alone again
No comfort from my head
Filled with compulsive thoughts
And existential dread
It makes me sick
Watching this plague set in
So I'll take a breath
And let it out instead

Thinking, is this how it's gonna be?
The only time to get away is when I'm fast asleep
Screaming, 'cause I need to feel release
I'm letting go of everything that's built up inside of me
