Seeping Through
I wanted the old me back so bad
well it's seeping through so fast I can feel it bubbling in my pores
The old me
Individual
lonley
Me
The one who didn't need anyone else
In fact the less the better she felt
I'm starting to remove the mask
The mask I put on myself
I'm starting to let myself go
I'm starting to cry again
To finally feel the pain that I have kept sunken in
I'm starting to feel afraid again
Afraid of what lonliness can mean
I'm scared facing it will defeat me
I need friends to believe
That's not what the old me was about
But the old me was about cracking
Peeling
Losing
Never winning
The old me was about sinking
I am done with that route
I've worked too hard to go back now
I won't allow the old me to fill in the gaps
Destroy the happiness that I brought about
I can feel the old me seeping through
It feels kind of good but disaster lies ahead
It won't end the way you think
I won't sink
