Head Up High Lyrics

My head is aching and my eyes are shut

My heart is breaking and I can't get up

My body is shaking yet my limbs are too numb to move

No better comfort than an empty tomb

Awake a monster ready to consume

I let it wander in the darkest of my room in fear

You're not welcome here

But if I try

And then I lose it all

I won't fly

Cause I'm afraid to fall

I can't climb

I only know to crawl

Head up high

Head up high

I play it fake so they don't call my bluff

I overcompensate to prove I'm enough

But this heavy weight is getting too tough to hold

If I speak my mind I might lose what I have

Continue this lie screw being who I am

If I said it one time they wouldn't understand

But if I try

And then I lose it all

I can't cry

It's like a concrete wall

I'm all tied

With ropes I feel so small

Head up high

Head up high

Power 'nough to bring me to my knees (inside of me)

I can't even find the worlds to speak (abide in me)

Acceptation is the only thing I seek (lie to me)

I am my own enemy
