one glitter at a time Lyrics

Ever since I can remember I've been afraid of dying

I was terrified of the dark the unknown

Not knowing what could happen or when

Little did I know my worst nightmare would one day be

Me

One day I wasn't afraid anymore

I just wanted the pain to go away

I wanted to find peace

and I couldn't see any light in the world I was living in

The weight of the world was too much to bare

I was scared of everything

Everything else but dying

As the darkness of my ghosts pulled me further and further in

All hope faded with it

Eventually I didn't recognise myself in the mirror

The things I once enjoyed no longer gave me pleasure

I didn't feel anything

Apathy took over

And the spark I once had the glitter

It was all gone

I no longer had the strength to ask for help

I'd become a shell of myself

And I felt like a burden to everyone around me

I thought everyone would be better off without me

They just didn't know it

But I was wrong

I was lucky

Because the people surrounding me caught me

Just as the last glitter shed of my skin

They ripped off the glitter mask I'd been waring for far too long

And burnt it

These masks suffocate you from the inside

So that the world can't see

Until your out of breath

They surrounded me with love and patience

Until I could start piecing myself together

One glitter at a time

There will always be a couple missing pieces of glitter on me

A reminder

For me to never put that mask on ever again

There is light in the darkness

There's a whole world filled with glitter

And things places people that feel like sunshine

There is so much more in store for you

And as hopeless as it may seem at times

You will feel those things again

I promise

One glitter at a time

And if you need some to get started

Here's some of mine
