the target

[Verse 1 — The Target] Felt like a target from a young age, Young kid wrestling demons, heart full of rage. My heart kept screaming, but I stayed in my place, They say that I'm scared, but I'm prepared for the chase. No, I'm overprepared, got my guard up tight, 'Cause I was an open target, just trying to survive. Truth speaks loud when you realize I'm right, I know what I know, but I keep it inside. Just like the rest, I can't always speak, Even when the truth is burning through me. Through and through, there's a story untold, A mind full of thoughts that I've never let go. [Verse 2 — Between the Lines] Truth is written between the lines, Hidden in the lies that we call life. Trying to understand a brain that never thought straight, Searching for answers while I wrestle with fate. I say I'm outside the box, but here's the truth: My mind's like a chord with a complicated tune. Written in the notes that nobody hears, A song full of thoughts I've been holding for years. With or without, there's no true answer, Life keeps moving, but we keep chasing after Something that explains why we hurt inside, Why the happiest faces can have tears they hide. Some of the happiest people can be manic, Some of the smartest struggle to manage. Some of the richest never study the past, While some carry pain that they struggle to mask. But here's one truth that I still believe: Even in a web of lies, happiness can be achieved.
