Finding Me

I am so tired now

I’ve been nothing but a fool

Cause my whole damn life

I’ve lived out of tune

You see the thing about a mask

Is it hides your true colors

And once you get used to it

It is impossible to take off

And then you’ll realize

You’ll be awakened inside

That you’ve been running around in circles

And you’re nothing but a lie

That’s why I’m so tired now

I’ve been nothing but a fool

I want some soul searching

That is, if I still have my soul

But I’m desperate now

I want to burn this mask

To find a life anew

To live with no filters & blues

I want to swim far away

To search for the real me

I want to feel the word ‘Happiness’

I want to fish for some “Dreams”

I know in your eyes

I’ll be nothing but a fool

A disappointment in your lives

Another broken old tool

But if the happiness that I’ll find

Is what you call a card of the fool

Then I’ll be happier to take that risk

And be what you call a ‘fool’

A disappointment it might be

But at least I’m a happy fool…
