Let me start here
Reminiscing of living in fear
What's real
S that I used to disappear
Then reappear
With a fierce dragon
In all my actions
No lying down
I just went to pursue my passions
Got pushed back to play a part
Partly due to peer pressure
Perpetrators then see me stand up
I'm their perfect measure
Jealous, a hatred rained
On me like bad weather
But I flew freely like a feather
Despite all of the weight
I remain light
And the burden that my skin holds
In this day and age
I still remain bright
I know this verse
Was kind of abstract
And just so you
All my thoughts are intact but
(My mind is in) Pieces
(And I can) Hardly understand
Pieces of my mind
I can hardly understand
Each memory in time
Is like a piece of sand
(So now I'm in) Pieces
(And I can) Hardly understand
Hardly understand now
I have to let go
Start again, let the puzzle unfold
I'm soul-searching
My soul's burning
I went Cold Turkey from society
That's because I placed
Another man's ridicule
On a conscious mind pedestal
To get some respect, you've gotta
Follow by their principles
I made my own ritual;
My cell became a temple
'Cause evidently
How you see life
Is through the mental
An everlasting bubble of stress
Caused by struggle is like
Standing in the rain
And a car drives
Through the puddle
Soul-searching
My heart's hurting now
Because I know
Why my situation feels bad
My mind, body and soul
Were supposed
To be connected from the start
Tell me, how come my World feels
Like it's worlds-apart? oh
(I'm in) Pieces
(And I can) Hardly understand
Pieces of my mind
I can hardly understand
Each memory in time
Is like a piece of sand
(So now I'm in) Pieces
(And I can) Hardly understand
Hardly understand now
I have to let go
Start again
Let the puzzle, puzzle
Have you ever been
In a situation of do-or-die?
Those fight-or-flight
Reactions never exist
Have you ever thoughts
About suicide, or
How to tell your family
That you want to commit?
See I've been walking through Hell
The penny for my thoughts
Went down a wishing well
And it's safe to say
That it's been granted
I wished for the Guts
And the Strength
And the chance to dance
With the Devil
Even if it was for a little
So my time came;
Had my sword and armour of chain
But the Devil never showed up
Just an embodiment
Of the man I wanted to be
Without the bullying
But with the fairytale upbringing
Ignorance his bliss
And possessions galore
His demeanour said little
About what he had in store
But his image said everything
'Cause he looked liked me
And he made it more clearer that
The only Devil that haunts me
Is the man in the mirror
There you stand so clear
Oh, please tell me
Why do I not fear?
Am I caught up in a lie?
Vivid images of you make me go blind
Are you my pit of doom
Or my Cloud 9?
Pieces, Hardly understand
Pieces
