Real Me

I feel like an endless search
I long for an only touch
Please, let me feel
You’re not a dream

Just take my hand and hold me still
Let me feel that you’re real
That I’m not sleeping
It’s really happening

Like a careless whisper in the night
I let myself drown in the dreamless sea
Where my paranoia dies
Leaving me to be like a normal being

I used to know myself one day
Loving the world so deep
Never caring about what they say
I dreamt and lived the way I did

Years of rises and falls
Made my heart cold
I wish I could be
The real me
To be loved for what I am
Even a broken paranoid

I’m not that perfect, not a saint
Depressed and problematic
Though the things are clear
You see this, dear

I’m not gonna lie this time
Just open your eyes
And you will see
The real me
