Let it out Let it out Let it go Shed a tear, shed some light, let it show Growing up, growing cold, I grew strong. Keep going Keep going Keep proving them wrong. They want me to take it and take it and fake it some more. I turn around and they stab me expecting me to bleed out on the floor. I don’t and I won’t. It’s a surprising twist, but it’s not the end. They go looking between a rock and a hard place where they hope I’ve been pinned. I’m not there. I’m up here. I Don’t think I’ll be coming back down. I’m not sorry for anything aside from being acquainted with such a sorry a** town. I’m getting out. I’ll get out if it’s the last thing I do. I may be misunderstood and I like that. It means I'm nothing like you.
