CLAP ON! CLAP OFF!

I feel it everywhere the darkness that consumes my life.

The smile that hides my face.

The laugh that hides my tears.

They don’t know me, they only know my name and who they think I am.

My life is like a clap on light, it only takes a clap for light, but my light is broken.

Do they see me, do they see who I am.

I’m nothing compared to whom they make me out to be.

I’m innocent in the eyes of my beholders.

I’m golden even when it’s gray.

I’m weightless even in the rain.

But I’m only just a lie.

CLAP ON CLAP ON CLAP ON!

They can’t see me.

It’s too dark to see my pain.

They are blind to who I am, I’m afraid they’ll only know my name.

Clap on…….

I’m afraid I’m way too late.

It will never be enough, just to know my name…
