Introspective and afraid
I've been told that it's not okay
To fight what we can't understand
Starved for purpose, well here I am
The first step to getting out of this hell
Where insecurities might get the best of me
Is finding strength within myself
To say I'm not okay
There's got to be a way to break
From the daily routine of wasting away
I pray for the day I decide it's time for a change
Lies told within will never let you out
Introspective and afraid
I've been told that it's not okay
To fight what we can't understand
Starved for purpose, well here I am
My days are numbered
And all it takes for me to make them count
Is separating now from what could have been
I've never been so lost
I've been slipping
While the clock keeps ticking away
Lies told within will never let you out
I know deep down I've come too far to turn back now
Introspective and afraid
I've been told that it's not okay
To fight what we can't understand
Starved for purpose, well here I am
I want to be in line again
I want to reach inside my head
To pull apart the things that are weighing me down
And shine the light on me when darkness surrounds
How long till the truth comes out
From these walls I've built around?
I wish I could break them down
Introspective and afraid
I've been told that it's not okay
When all the world will tell you what's wrong and right
I just need a little guidance now
Introspective and afraid
I admit that I'm not okay
I hope someday I'll understand
Starved for purpose, well here I am
I hope someday I'll understand
Starved for purpose, here I am
