Acceptance

You know me
I bet I probably look like an ordinary human being
Tryna breathe the same air that you dudes are breathing
But from a different atmosphere, hanging from a chandelier
Watching life fade to black from here
I put my headphones on to escape this system
To escape my mind, feels like my brain's a prison
And I've been made a victim inside this shapeless prism
While the musings of my soul remain unwritten

So if you'll allow me, I'd like to lift the veil a little
Take a peek into my soul, it'll only take a minute
To take a peek into the darkness, look hard enough
And in the middle you can see a tiny heart's engulfed
From the shenanigans of yesteryear - try not to judge
I'd delete 'em if I could, what want is just
To hit rewind and change the person I was, adjust
What I look like on the surface and beyond because
People say I'm like a perfect swan, it's all a bluff
I'm just an ugly duckling - worthless and not enough
You can tell me that my Father sees me differently
He sees the diamonds and pearls that he's instilled in me
In that instant I probably will agree unwillingly
But in the depths of my soul, I know that isn't me
Coz it's hard to accept what He thinks of me
So the negative emotions keep living with me

They say "One man's trash is the next man's treasure
One man's pain is the next man's pleasure
One man's peace is the next man's pressure
One man's Eden is the next man's desert"
Well it feels like I'm always on the wrong side of the coin
If this is the pattern of my life, what's the point?
I know my hope's gotta keep me going, but if silence is noise
Then to silence the noise, this chandalier's tempting me to slip out the back...
