about

This is an insight into my thoughts before I came out.

lyrics

I used to rest with the moonlight’s glee

The wind would tug at my peaceful dream

I’d reach for the blankets of who I want to be

And cover up the truth

When you’re ashamed

That’s what you do



I wrote my secrets on a page

I read the words then set them in flames

If my loved ones knew, they’d keep their distance safe

Yeah, that’s what they’d choose

When you’re ashamed

That’s what you do



It’s hard to stay sane, when I’m trapped in a wave

That’s bound to crash and break the sand

An unsettling fear, it tickles my tears

And it drips and pours the years on tired land

Sometimes it’s so hard to stand



I will walk with convincing strength

I’ll show no wounds, no signs of hate

If acceptance is a trail to a cemetery’s gate

Then I’ll settle for a bruise

When you’re ashamed

That’s what you do
