Be Known

A lifetime spent on nothing but trying to change yourself
The weight of shame is crushing but don't dare estrange yourself, from me
I see a hope long gone, a fear of love, a hatred for the dawn
Yeah I've played that role, but I love your soul, and it deserves to be known
Maybe strength is asking for help
Maybe there's a life that you still haven't felt
Really none of us have all of it together
Life can and will get better
Just be known
Just be known
I understand suppressing all of your deepest problems
Trust me it's just more depressing, let yourself blossom
Yeah I'm here for you, Yeah I know the truth, I can see the pain you cling so tightly to
Yeah I've lived that life, Yeah I've held that knife but it don't make things better
Maybe strength is asking for help
Maybe there's a life that you still haven't felt
Really none of us have all of it together
Life can and will get better
Just be known
Just be known
Darkened eyes
Everything you've tried
Leaning towards suicide
But we need your life
You have tears to cry
I don't need you to hide
Yeah, I know it's hard
Yeah, I've seen your scars
Life leaves us all a little marred
But I’m here for you
Please know the truth
You weren't made to do this alone
And we're here for you
Yeah we're here for you
Please know that I’m here for you
Whenever you need me
Maybe strength is asking for help
Maybe there's a life that you still haven't felt
Really none of us have all of it together
Life can and will get better
Just be known
I want to know you
My friend

Forgiveness Is Wrong
03:19

Self-condemnation is all that I know
Self-flagellation feels like home
I hate myself so much
I wanna end it
Looking for some ways to numb this growing shame
Disgusted at what I've become, tighten my chains
Forgiveness is something I'll believe
Once I feel free
Help me accept the grace you give
Help me reject this pain I love
I've been on the wrong path for so long
I tell myself forgiveness is wrong
Forgiveness is wrong
Maybe I should be more sanctified by this point
All I want is for them to anoint
My head, but I'll still feel so dead
Maybe I just need to scrap
The religiosity crushing my back
I got so comfortable with prostration
That I missed salvation
Help me accept the grace you give
Help me reject this pain I love
I've been on the wrong path for so long
I tell myself forgiveness is wrong
Forgiveness is wrong

Converse hanging over the gutter
Eyes tilted toward the sky
Feelings left completely unuttered
And questions about life
Earbuds placed by my eardrums
Blaring A Head Full of Dreams
I don't know when mine emptied of those
I mean, I'm only fourteen
This exiting of childhood
Leaves me feeling misunderstood
It's getting hard to see the good
In anything anymore
Innocence not lasting long
After the comments from my basketball team
Newfound urges developing
Depressed and in puberty
Feeling confused and ashamed
I turn to pornography
But now it’s a struggle to see people
Non-objectifyingly
I really, really, really don't like me
This exiting of childhood
Leaves me feeling misunderstood
It's getting hard to see the good
In anything anymore
I know that I'm worthwhile
And I know that I am loved
But it hasn't felt that way in awhile
Cause now I only feel numb
I hope that there's still wonder
Out there, It’s just harder to see
And I hope it doesn't stay like this forever
I mean I can't always be fourteen

I Don't Know
04:43

Somedays I wish I didn't wake up
And ever since I was a little kid all I did was hate myself
And they'd tell me that God loves me
Loves me at my worst
And I couldn't help but wonder
Why he'd let us hurt
I've heard so many answers
But none have changed the pain
I'm sick of writing sad songs
But I can't stand things that are fake
And I don't think anything I do is good enough
And that little boy still resides in me and he thinks that he’s useless
People say that they'll pray for me
Cause they don't know what else to say
I've said the exact same things
But I'm so lonely
And it's a fight every day
I just want to be known
But I think if anyone knew me
They'd hate what they saw
They'd think I was as worthless
As I think I am
And these might be lies in my head
But that doesn't make them any less powerful
I just want to be a good friend
To myself
And to everyone else
And I feel alone
And I feel unknown
And I feel like I have a long way to go
And I know I should hold on to hope
But I don't know anything at all
Yeah I don't know
I don't...
