Bland
When you ask “What flavor would you describe yourself”
Kids say “Bland” because when you’re at the age of 12
being sad is popular
But for the people who are sad, who feel single cellular
No one believes you no matter what you say
So you just sit and wait for a better day
But the day seems like it will never come
And we look in the mirror and see what we’ve become
And we feel like we deserve the pain
And our happiness in chained in our depression's chains
People think your trying to fit in
And so we play our wrist like a violin
We rely on others for happiness instead of finding it
And we rely on those cuts, on those small slits
And we can’t tell you what's wrong because you won’t understand
So all we can say is that “I am Bland”
