Story Behind the Song
This song is a very personal song that deals with the inner workings of my head and life. The song was written both at school and in my room. It took about 2 weeks to get the lyrics exactly the way I wanted them and the song was produced in one night. Vocals were done in one take.

Verse 1:
I can’t explain how one day the pain awoke inside of my head
I tried to go on but when you all spoke I looked past you
Deaf in one ear, blind in one eye, living with half of a heart
Living a lie in a world of my own, now all I can think of is me
Chorus:
Is there a normal anymore
I thought I knew it once before
Something so big can seem so small
Hide but it catches us all
Verse 2:
I’m scared of you all, never willing to fall, you left and I turned off the fire
I live on a stage where I am the star, but the role that I play is unknown
I don’t think of you now ‘cause I can’t bear the thought, my plastic world is my shield
But when the sun goes down, I close my eyes, and fall in to a world where you are.
Chorus
Bridge:
You return and I hide it all inside
Running away with a part of me
I can’t close the door, it’s too far away from me
Maybe one day I'll be free
Chorus
