It was strange how I'd walk around sulking
The scenes of the world poking and provoking
Thoughts to arise the emotions evoking
Physical damage, felt like I was choking
And I know it seems tense, but I'm not even joking
Back in those days I was always hoping
That maybe it was me who was going to change everything
Clever things and better things never clung to the letter strings
So I found myself sitting hopeless and awkward
Wondering what I was even showing off for
What did I even talk for? I made a vow of silence
Mapped out my insecurities, broke it down to science
It took a few years of pondering and thinking
A few decades of wondering and sinking
But now I'm here and I broke through the little inklings
Penned down the notes that showed my world was shrinking
Now I'm back and I'm better than ever
I'll keep every promise right down to the letter
No more moping, why'd I even regret for?
From here on out things can only get better [x2]
I got a tattoo done with invisible ink
It simply states: You are more amazing than you think
And on gloomy days it serves as a reminder
I can't always see the beauty but the gaps aren't getting wider
And so I should remain kinder to those I come across
The golden rule clearly states it but I was at a loss
I was born to break rules and born to live in anarchy
Always thought of gold as such an odd commodity
When it really came down to it I found myself an oddity
Treat others with respect? It isn't how I oughtta be
But it's funny how it works, morals came from within
Hand crafted in my psyche, not a single one given
And I don't believe in god so don't even get started
If you want to, well that's fine, but I was still pure-hearted
Without any intervention, contemplate it if you could
I believe that human beings are still inherently good
Now I'm back and I'm better than ever
I'll keep every promise right down to the letter
No more moping, why'd I even regret for?
From here on out things can only get better [x4]
