Panic Room from Graveyard Smash by Rougaroux

I have a secret
Most of my friends already know
Thought I didn’t need to keep it
But now I’m afraid of letting go

I don’t want to be the way I am
Wouldn’t it be easier?
Wouldn’t it be safer?
I don’t want to be the way I am
Wouldn’t you be fine being something else
Think about the consequences
Of lying to yourself like this
Oh God would not approve of it
You have a choice, yeah you have options
Keep that skeleton in the closet
After all no one would want it
It’s what you deserve
You’re a scared little kid
Afraid of getting hurt in the process
Of having his heart torn into pieces

I’m in a panic room
The blood on the wall spells out my doom
I could just look away
But my trembling hands are still bloodstained

I don’t want to be the way I am
Wouldn’t it be easier?
Wouldn’t it be safer?
I don’t want to be the way I am
Wouldn’t you be fine being something else
Think about the consequences
Of lying to yourself like this
Oh God would not approve of it
You have a choice, yeah you have options
Keep that skeleton in the closet
After all no one would want it
It’s what you deserve
You’re a scared little kid
Afraid of getting hurt in the process
Of having his heart torn into pieces

I want to be the way I am
It would be easier
It would be safer
I want to be the way I am
I wouldn’t be fine being anything else
Think about the consequences of telling yourself the truth like this
It doesn’t matter who approves of it
It’s not a choice, but you have options
This skeleton is coming out of the closet
After all, the world wants it
It’s what you deserve
You’re a grown-up now
Who can take joy in the process
Of putting a heart together from pieces
