Some days sorrow
Is my veneer
And I strain to strip it off
But I don’t have
The strength I need
Buried deep beneath the loss
I disappear
War with the pain
Till I feel I've broken free
In the meantime
As I struggle
Who you see is just not me
~~~*Chorus*~~~
Not me…
I’m not anguish
Don’t do wretchedness
I am elation’s child
Exuding happiness
If a despondent being
Is what you see
Turn and walk away
It just isn't me
Not me
~~*~~
Those who know me
Step back and wait
Realize I will overtake
I won’t give in
I will rise up
As the misery abates
I’m resilient
Teeming with faith
Knowing love is all I need
So when I’m down
If you’re around
Understand this isn't me
~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Not me
Dancing with death's shadows
When all I want to do is shine
Not me
Lying down to wallow
I have kissed that pain goodbye
Genuine illumination
The force I desire to be
If there are tears on my face
Unrelated to life's grace
It's not me
Not me
~~*~~
~~~*Chorus*~~~
Not me…
I’m not anguish
Don’t do wretchedness
I am elation’s child
Exuding happiness
If a despondent being
Is what you see
Turn and walk away
It just isn't me
Not me
~~*~~
