PICTURE
I was born into this world
Like an empty sheet of paper
And you tried to paint the perfect picture
Of a perfect little life
In a place where there's no sorrow and pain
Where life's just fun and games
There were birds up in the sky
There were flowers in the window
And the stars would light up the night
And you painted it so well
You used all the rainbows colours
Yet I was black and white
And all I know
All I know is we all have problems
And we all feel pain
And all I know
All I know my demons are hiding
Cause they're all in my brain
But I'm breaking out
Breaking free
I'm stepping out of the shadow
So I can see
This lovely world
I'm living in
And I'll let go of the past
So I can live the life you painted for me
I wear this pretty mask
Of a smiling happy boy
Just to hide the world beneath it
It's a world that has no sun
And the stars just keep on dying
And no dirt for flowers to grow
And all I know
All I know this world isn't real
It's created by me
And all I know
All I know my demons are chained up
And I have the key
So I'm breaking out
Breaking free
I'm stepping out of the shadow
So I can see
This lovely world
I'm living in
And I'll let go of the past
So I can live the life you painted for me
Mom and dad
I know you've been worried
But everything will be alright
Cause I'm breaking out
With a smile on my face
Out of that awful place
I'm breaking out
Breaking free
I'm stepping out of the shadow
So I can see
This beautiful world
I'm living in
And I'll let go of the past
So I can live the life you Painted for me
