Deafiant - Hey, Me

Hey, me, I was wondering
Tell me are you still smiling?
Or do you spend your days in silence
Getting tired of your own presence

Where do I start? Where did the heart
Get torn apart, and left this mark
You're on a path that gets turned to dark
Couple years still later still think your fault
Making decisions that leave you imprisoned like you've never given enough
If making you cold is a hobby of theirs then they gonna be out of luck
You're starting off bright but begin to change
Getting the help to put your soul in chains
Feel like a monster with a smile on your face
Say you won't care but always the feel shame
They ask you stop but never ask what's wrong
Setting off waves in your head like a gong
Like how come you have to feel so alone
Levels of liars but you got the throne
Split personalities with emotions that move like water
Separated both sides, with high walls, you could call me Moses
Laughter brings joy to the soul but I just can't find the laughter
Let me tell you something to avoid that you'll never notice
You're gonna feel pain and get addicted to it
Don't force it into others and start a movement
Hold on to faith and don't ever lose it
And ditch the people that wanna use you
Please don't lose yourself when the people leave
Just means more space for you to try and breathe
Break apart the shackles put on yourself
And please get a bucket when you feel your heart starting to melt

Hey, me, I was wondering
Tell me are you still smiling?
Or do you spend your days in silence
Getting tired of your own presence

At your age tell me are you laughing?
If not can you tell me what happened?
People say we have potential, are we lacking?
Hey, me, start talking, tell me what happens?

I can feel the sympathy inside of me
Feels like I owe an apology
But the problem is, you'd possibly
Go down the same route as me
So honestly it's hard to believe
That people think of us as a prodigy
Call us an angel but can't spread our wings
So we fall into lies that really sting
This path of mind, is like a exercise
Figure out how much we can take in life
See all directions and we wonder why
We can't move forward while our legs are tied
I would say that you shouldn't go this way
But knowledge is something you need today
If you don't make the same choices I made on this road
I can honestly say that you'll never grow
Feels like a movie but we can't rewind it
Don't have a time machine, why are we trying
Making a rainbow with how much cry
And we run from the people that say it's alright
If you get to know me, you will not be running back
Sharing my pain, forcing you to carry that
I have to apologize, often I realized
That I've become what you hated to be in your life
Come to me for answers when I'm looking myself
Why'd I throw away the keys and get in my cell
If you can hear me can you fulfill our dream?
We all make mistakes but it's not too late for me

Hey, me, I was wondering
Tell me are you still smiling?
Or do you spend your days in silence
Getting tired of your own presence

At your age tell me are you laughing?
If not can you tell me what happened?
People say we have potential, are we lacking?
Hey, me, start talking, tell me what happens?

Hey, me, I was wondering
Tell me are you still smiling?
Or do you spend your days in silence
Getting tired of your own presence

At your age tell me are you laughing?
If not can you tell me what happened?
People say we have potential, are we lacking?
Hey, me, start talking, tell me what happens?
