The Darker Parts Of Me

"The Darker Parts Of Me"
2011

It's often been inferred
Or whispered for a bit
But the truth is obvious
If you really look for it
See, something's wrong with me
It's what you'll come to learn
But you can let it be
There's no cause for your concern
'Cause my insecurities
Have often been displayed
The public's used to them
So their opinion's never swayed
And the faults I tried to hide
Are here for all to see
In a place where shades of happiness
Are drowned in the darker parts of me
It's always asked of me
In a soft and sweet request
That I should behave in ways
Most people would suggest
But they're just being nice
And overlooking ugliness
So they'll often pay the price
For my years of bitterness
'Cause my insecurities
Have often been displayed
The public's used to them
So their opinion's never swayed
And the faults I tried to hide
Are here for all to see
In a place where shades of happiness
Are drowned in the darker parts of me
Oh, every mental scene
That I'd care to recall
Upsets me 'cause I
Truly hate that sight of them all
And no matter what they say
This is the way it will stay
Unless some force comes along
And turns the tide the other way
'Cause my insecurities
Have often been displayed
The public's used to them
So their opinion's never swayed
And the faults I tried to hide
Are here for all to see
In a place where shades of happiness
Are drowned in the darker parts of me
