Living Apology

Are you afraid to be the person that you are? And in the light are you surprised at what you see? Does it hurt to lock yourself up in the dark? Does it help to know you're living just like me? A harsh world for a gentle soul A tight mask makes a dented skull Keeping secrets that you can't let go Afraid to face the side that no one knows And I'll skim the in-between Find the semblances I seek for safety Make sure no one sees This identity is bound to break me Stay quiet about it There's no way around this I'll cover my tracks It's the perfect reaction My skin becomes calloused To make sure You won't find the rest of me Hiding underneath You won't find the rest of me Hiding underneath What's it like to live your life as someone else? Most of the time it isn't really what it seems And it feels better just to stay inside a shell 'Cause in the end I still have most of what I need A harsh world for a gentle soul A tight mask makes a dented skull I'm keeping secrets that I can't let go I've come to terms knowing I'll never grow But what am I following? A living apology What am I following? A living apology (apology) And I'll skim the in-between Find the semblances I seek for safety Make sure no one sees This identity is bound to break me Stay quiet about it There's no way around this I'll cover my tracks It's the perfect reaction My skin becomes calloused To make sure You won't find the rest of me Hiding underneath You won't find the rest of me Hiding underneath You won't find the rest of me
