Old Lyrics

I was going through stuff in my room while packing for school, when I found an old notebook. It’s at least 3-4 years old, and I used to jot down interesting stuff in it. So here are some (unfinished) lyrics that I wrote on a long train ride. It’s set to pieces of Ben Fold Five’s “Best Imitation of Myself”, and the theme is pretty much the same.

When I go out with my friends,
You know that I can pretend,
I’m a master thespian at his best

You see, the problems arise
When I remove my disguise
and there’s no one left for me to impress

No matter what facade you see
It’s just a wall hiding me
and though I’d like to reveal
to you the me that is real
I can’t until I find out myself.
