about

I recorded this song some time ago for "Scars and Demons", an independent short inspired by Jamey Rodemeyer's suicide due to excessive bullying. All proceeds from the purchase of this song will be donated to The Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young people ages 13-24.

lyrics

MAYBE

When can I stop trying to be somebody that I’m not?
When can I be free and be okay with simply being me?
I try to rise above but I’m sinking fast
Is a little peace of mind too much to ask?

All these demons that surround me, they tear me up and hound me
And the scars are down so deep I don’t ever really heal
I am voiceless though I’m screaming in a life I can’t find meaning
and the freedom that I long for, can’t be sure its even real
and still…maybe…it will be alright

Here’s a thought..
Maybe you could love me even though
I’m not what is easy
But I’m trapped inside what you expect from me
This isn’t make believe but I play a part
It is something that I’ve learned to do by heart

…it will be all right.
