lyrics

Dear diary I’ve got something to say.
words I can’t speak out loud, so I'll write them down
I shoulder the weight of them
Send them through this burdened pen
If I carry them much longer I might drown

The world outside is suffocating
within this page I’m liberated
I give you my all secrets
you ease my mind.

It tires me, wears my soul down each day
To play a part on the stage, and not hide in the page.
A shadow of what I feel,
But would they accept what’s real?
Or would they turn their backs and just walk away

The world outside is suffocating
within this page I’m liberated
I give you my all secrets
you ease my mind.

Someday far from now, When the ink runs dry
I won’t need this armor to get me by
I won’t need to hide in words just so I can fit in,
A future spoken proudly, a diary unwritten

Inspire me, Lead me away from this place
I’m lost in this crowd with pen and paper vows
Scratching away the pain, Tears and Ink smeared in the rain
Standing alone, always searching, never found.

The world outside is suffocating
within this page I’m liberated
I give you my all secrets
you ease my mind.

The world outside just won’t keep waiting
I turn the page, sign and date it
I gave you all my secrets
Now,
ease
my mind.
