Sincerely, Daniel

•I wrote my message a year ago
The pain felt unbeatable
I had to get it off of my chest seemed unspeakable
Until I captured my heart in what was unreadable
The letters, spoken into your ears, were now free to go
I kept it all enslaved inside my brain’s secret room
Never gave a face that might’ve gave easy proof
That I was maybe taking offense to their criticals
But like I said, inside, my mind was taken mental notes
And that’s exactly what has me feeling hurt
But this time, I’m fine, it’s you making me nervous
I could hide behind the lies that my life was perfect
Then close my door the cry, take me to where your truth is
So take me to where your truth is
Take me to where your truth is
Take me to where your truth is
Oh, take me…
Oh, take me
Oh, take me
Let me open your door
Oh, take me
Oh, take me
I think I’ve been in this room before
My knees left indents there on the floor
My tears fell ‘til I had no more
Let me help you save yours
I have fans in my DM’s
And friends in my texts
Everyone gets hurt
But now I’m dreading who’s next
Not cuz I don’t want to help, don’t live with that stress
But because I know there must be more who never ask
So this song is to those afraid to speak up
Afraid your story’s just too much, you stay hushed
Or you minimize the weight and say it’s not enough
I’ve been there, I got beaten down, but over what?
Nothing. It was nothing next to their wounds
The stuff they went through? I know what I’d do
I couldn’t make it. I couldn’t take it. I couldn’t move
I know I’m too weak, I know that I’d lose
There was a time I thought The King might knot my noose
What I’m tryna say’s The King is a personal cruel
He knows everyone one of us, if you’re there, he controls you
Until you wage war and •REVOLT• with me. What will you chose?
Oh, take me
Oh, take me
Let me open your door
Oh, take me
Oh, take me
I think I’ve been in this room before
My knees left indents there on the floor
My tears fell ‘til I had no more
Let me help you save yours
Let me tell you what The King wishes you’d never hear
Let me speak truth, slip in a song that fills him with fear
It’s all lies, the voice whispering in your ear
They’re the peasant, God’s the one who made you, look in the mirror
Turn the lights on, kill dark, make it all clear
You have eyes that lead straight to a heart that’s still there
It beats blood, you breathe, watch, lungs fill with air
You’re alive, and life is beautiful and intricate, Stare
Into your own eyes, the details show you God’s hand
You’re made with intention, every inch in His plan
Don’t think about how they said you prove imperfection
We all do, we gotta crawl out of that sand
Every song on album one was to show you how frail
I was, in every moment until I wrote mail
Through expression and asking for help, I pulled the handle
Saw the light. Let me help you do the same
Sincerely, Daniel
Oh, take me
Oh, take me
Let me open your door
Oh, take me
Oh, take me
I think I’ve been in this room before
My knees left indents there on the floor
My tears fell ‘til I had no more
Let me help you save yours
You’re not alone inside your head
Put all your pain into a pen
Your story may be hard to share
That’s step one to getting better•
