Isn’t it funny how people just judge
Thinking they know you just on whats perceived
Act like they know you cuz of your scene
Like what goes on around you somehow defines you
Yep you best believe they’ll deny you
Based on all the gossip
What else do you expect them to see
The picture is painted long before the numbers where drawn
No one starts with a stripped canvas
No one’s blank
Blanketed inbetween the sheets
Of music, of rain, of paper
Wrapped in pain
Paint by numbers
Aren’t we all one in the same
Don’t we all lose the same in this game
Tell me your different, show me your truth
Out in the open quit trying to hide
Maybe the road, the price, the sacrifice is too high
We all hear the whispers, we all feel the shame, just the chosen few get out
The ones who deep down just knew
We all deserve freedom
We all make the choice
Those who take the time to see thru
Those who show love to any and all
They are the ones who realize for love you don’t have to fall
To win you might have to fail
We can chose to live for love and love to live
To forget and forgive every wrong
For those brave enuf to actually live
They are the ones who continue to live on LONG AFTER THEY’RE GONE
