Citizen Soldier Mess Of Me Lyrics

[Intro]
(My charade, my charade)
(My grenade, my grenade)
(My charade, my charade)
(My grenade, my grenade)

[Verse 1]
Stay on the inside
Don't let your secret out
Reveal the landslide
That's always pouring down
Down like the rain
Can you see me drowning?
Drifting away
They'll never understand

[Pre-Chorus]
Why I disappear
The voices that I hear
Calling me into the darkness

[Chorus]
I'll breathe in, I'll breathe out
So sick of holding it down
When no one sees
This mess of me
It's okay, I'm alright
Even though I'm dying inside
I'm never free
Of this mess of me

[Verse 2]
I dance with demons
Conceal this double life
No rhyme or reason
For the war behind these eyes
Don't get too close
Do you see what I see?
Haunting like a ghost
I'm never free [Chorus]
I'll breathe in, I'll breathe out
So sick of holding it down
When no one sees
This mess of me
It's okay, I'm alright
Even though I'm dying inside
I'm never free
Of this mess of me
This mess of me
No, I'm never free

[Bridge]
My charade, my grenade
I will lie for you
I will follow you
Until the end
I'm ashamed, I'm afraid
If they knew the truth
Of my abuse
What would they do?
(What would they do?)

[Pre-Chorus]
My charade, my grenade
If they knew the truth
Of my abuse

[Chorus]
I'll breathe in, I'll breathe out
So sick of holding it down
When no one sees
This mess of me
It's okay, I'm alright
Even though I'm dying inside
I'm never free
Oh, of this mess of me
I'm never free
Of this mess of me
