Look at the sky
The clouds are heavy
Just like my face
Darkness is casting over me
I’m off the record
Say what I couldn’t before
Fake my smile, don’t know what’s real
Can’t tell if this is how I feel
My whole day’s a living hell
But I act like all is well
When the day is bright, I feel strangely blue
Everyone seems happy, but I’m not so too
I live my life through a filtered lens
Wrapped it up to make it all make sense
Cut the bad scenes, keep the perfect frame
Too busy hiding the other side in shame
I’m off the record
Say what I couldn’t before
I’m off the record
I gotta let the fake go
The more I denied myself
The heavier my heart became
I knew it, but I didn’t stop
Even forgot how to drop the burden
What I truly wished for inside
Was to live by what I love with pride
But I feared they’d mock me loud
I started to become more withdrawn
I don’t care how they see me now
I’ll love myself, no need to lie
Not the fake me recorded in their eyes
I’ll film the real me I visualize
I’m off the record
Say what I couldn’t before
I’m off the record
I gotta let the fake go
Look at the sky
The clouds are heavy
Just like my face
Darkness is clearing away
