50-50-90
Demons swimming
But i hide them well
Put on my happy face
As i go into the world
Look at me
Everything's great i tell them
Even though
Deep inside i know its not
What they don't see is me
The 3 hours it took to tell myself its okay
You'll be fine
They are going to be waiting for you again
If you don't just
OPEN THE F@#KING DOOR AND GO
Why is it so hard
To put on this costume of joy and happiness
Why can't i believe what others do
Why can't i see what other's see
Because what they believe is what I lead them to see
Because what they see is what I want them to believe
It's the me i want to be deep inside
But I just can't seem to find the way to get there
There is no f@#king map
No GPS hollering to turn right in a 1/2 mile
I am at a constant fork in the road
Taking the wrong way each time
Hoping it is going to get lighter as I travel
But it Never Does
You See the two paths does not equal a 50% chance of choosing the right one
It does not work that way with me
For me its always 50-50-90
If there is a 50% Chance to choose the right path
and 50% chance to choose the wrong one
I always have a 90% chance to choose the wrong one
But this is what keeps me going
That little tiny 10%
You see there is a chance
That someday
Somewhere
I will pick the right one
My darkness will fade slowly to light and I can face the world feeling the way they see me
That's what its all about right?
that tiny chance
is still a chance
its what i got
but until then i have my costume
and a 10% chance to make it
But i hide them well
Put on my happy face
As i go into the world
Look at me
Everything's great i tell them
Even though
Deep inside i know its not
What they don't see is me
The 3 hours it took to tell myself its okay
You'll be fine
They are going to be waiting for you again
