I've got a secret That's tearing me apart I've got a secret That's eating at my heart And I just wish that I could drop it Forget my secret, all about it That's not an option It feels too real to me It's not an option To drop it, leave it be I can't keep up with this deception The real me's in there Let her out, man! I can't stand to deny it And I'm not gonna stay quiet Let me out so I can play Let me out so I can say "Hello" to the world as myself And quit the lying And quit the hiding I can't stand to deny it And I'm not gonna stay quiet Let me out so I can play Let me out so I can say "Hello" to the world as myself And quit the lying And quit the hiding So no more secrets The truth will set me free Fuck keeping secrets I'm coming out as me And I don't care if you don't like it It's my life, my right to decide it I can't stand to deny it And I'm not gonna stay quiet Let me out so I can play Let me out so I can say "Hello" to the world as myself And quit the lying And quit the hiding I can't stand to deny it And I'm not gonna stay quiet Let me out so I can play Let me out so I can say "Hello" to the world as myself And quit the lying And quit the hiding

Impostor 05:16
I'm feeling like an impostor I'm feeling like a fake I'm feeling like a pretender I feel like a mistake I'll never be the real deal No matter how I try I'm just an imitation A counterfeit inside I don't look how I want so I fake it I don't sound how I want so I fake it I can't sing how I want so I fake it This isn't my real voice I'm feeling like an impostor I'm feeling like a fake I'm feeling like a pretender I feel like a mistake I'll never be the real deal No matter how I try I'm just an imitation A counterfeit inside I'm a fake, I'm a fraud, I'm a liar And my pile of sins builds up higher I deserve to be thrown in the fire For everything I've done And I wish that I could stop the lying And be real with my identifying No matter how hard I keep trying I'll never be enough I'm feeling like an impostor I'm feeling like a fake I'm feeling like a pretender I feel like a mistake I'll never be the real deal No matter how I try I'm just an imitation A counterfeit inside

The Reason 04:06
I'm isolated And agitated Infuriated by it all It's complicated I'm aggravated And I've debated going on But I know why I keep on living I know why I keep fighting on The reason why I keep on singing The reason why I wrote this song I know why I keep on living I know why I keep fighting on The reason why I keep on singing The reason why I wrote this song Each day I'm waiting It's so frustrating Exasperating to my core I'm suffocating It's aggravating Invalidating is the norm But I know why I keep on living I know why I keep fighting on The reason why I keep on singing The reason why I wrote this song I know why I keep on living I know why I keep fighting on The reason why I keep on singing The reason why I wrote this song I know the reason I'm living I know the reason I fight on I know why I keep on living I know why I keep fighting on The reason why I keep on singing The reason why I wrote this song

Trapped 03:41
I'm trapped in my body and I'm trapped in my mind. My prison of flesh and hair That keeps me confined. I'm trapped in my body and I'm trapped in my mind. My prison of flesh and hair That keeps me confined. It keeps me confined. I can't get away I can't escape I can't get away I can't escape I can't get away I can't escape from me. I can't get away I can't escape I can't get away I can't escape I can't get away I can't escape from me. I'm trapped in my body and I'm trapped in my mind. My prison of flesh and hair That keeps me confined. It keeps me confined. My body is a prison holding me, Making me be who I don't wanna be, And all I want is to go free. My body is a prison holding me, Making me be who I don't wanna be, And all I want is to go free. I'm trapped in my body and I'm trapped in my mind. My prison of flesh and hair That keeps me confined. I'm trapped in my body and I'm trapped in my mind. My prison of flesh and hair That keeps me confined. It keeps me confined. I can't get away I can't escape I can't get away I can't escape I can't get away I can't escape from me. I can't get away I can't escape I can't get away I can't escape I can't get away I can't escape from me.

Black Magic 03:24
I got black magic Runnin' through my veins I got black magic Drivin' me insane I got black magic Tellin' me to fight I got black magic Doesn't care what's right Black magic A curse inside of me Black magic Brings out the worst in me Black magic Transformin' my body Black magic It's like lycanthropy Black magic I want it out of me Black magic I want to be set free Black magic I curse it every day Black magic Why won't it go away

Digital Girl 03:38
I'm a digital girl In the virtual world Catch me online Just a digital girl In my carefree fake world Where it's all fine When I'm online I can be who I want to Be the real me And I never have to hide When I'm online I can choose my own identity And be free To set loose the truth of me I'm a digital girl In the virtual world Catch me online Just a digital girl In my carefree fake world Where it's all fine In the real world I'm still trapped inside my closet I can't be free So I hide the truth of me From the real world That's so toxic and judgmental I can't be me So I hide away online I'm a digital girl In the virtual world Catch me online Just a digital girl In my carefree fake world Where it's all fine

Falling 04:30
I'm stuck here alone and I can't be free Cuz I'm trapped in a mind that plays tricks on me Reliving each one of my past mistakes My trauma and fears and my pains and aches Day after day I'm stuck in this place My only escape is in cyberspace The memories like a picture show Of things that my brain just cannot let go I'm falling through darkness I'm lost and alone beneath it all I'm drowning in darkness There's nobody here to catch my fall Darkness is closing in around me I'm trapped and alone and I just can't see The hope of the sun and a brand new day My fears and my hangups get in my way Every day it's the same routine I put on my mask so my pain's unseen I hide away from the world at large It's clear my anxiety is in charge I'm falling through darkness I'm lost and alone beneath it all I'm drowning in darkness There's nobody here to catch my fall I'm falling through darkness I'm lost and alone beneath it all I'm drowning in darkness There's nobody here to catch my fall I'm falling through darkness I'm lost and alone beneath it all I'm drowning in darkness There's nobody here to catch my fall

I want to show you I want to tell you I want to share with you this part of me I'm sick of hiding I'm sick of lying I want you to see just what I can be There's more to me than you can see I'm more than meets the eye Secrets piled high I'm more than meets the eye Secrets piled high I want you to hear me I want you to know me I want you to see me for who I can be I want your acceptance I want your approval I want to stop hiding and finally be free There's more to me than you can see I'm more than meets the eye Secrets piled high I'm more than meets the eye Secrets piled high
