L.B.O.L 03:33
L.B.O.L: I know sometimes it’s hard to face the day you’d rather fade away and disappear/Been a couple years of struggles trying to fight against the tears/Scars all on the heart it’s getting hard to let them near/Love is starving built your garden out of fear/Well I’m here/Just to let you know you’re not alone/Product of a broken promise brought up in that mosh pit they call a home/And in that closet got a pile of bones/Still it’s so amazing how you shine beneath the grime when even diamonds don’t/Eyes are closed while I’m writing this/Imagining the beauty that I’ve found in every flaw that you’re fighting with/While I’m trying to shake the vices grip/Caught up in a cycle sick/Then you came and showed me what it’s like to live/That’s why I hate to see you hang your head/Caught up in the same regrets that made you now I wonder where you’re aiming next/So I had to make it musical/Just to show you every scar is beautiful/Cause/ (Hook) Verse 2: I just wanna see you smile again It’s been awhile my friend/Focused on the future but forgot about the now and that’s a violent trend/And you gon’ feel it when it finally ends/But until then/Please believe that if you need I’ve got the time to spend/Cause I know why it’s tough to let them in/When you’ve been invested in these people still it seems you’re just a step to them/And it’s hurtful so you’re hesitant/To open up it’s like so many cuts have got you scared of what’s suppressed within/I catch you grinning every now and then/Trying to blend and hide behind the mask so they don’t see you but I’m not convinced/And you’ve been starving with your pockets thin/I’m watching while you’re watching them/Knowing you still feel you’ve got a lot to give/That’s why I hate to see you hang your head/Caught up in the same regrets that made you now I wonder where you’re aiming next/So I had to make it musical/Just to show you every scar is beautiful/Cause/ (Hook)
