Anyone Else
(Kayanek)

Everyone thinks I've got it made
they don't know my life's so disarrayed
in the mirror I stare at someone else
so I never have to face myself

I'm beginning to see I'd much rather be anyone else but me
I'm just fooling myself nobody else sees my misery
all the roles I play are simply a way to get through the day
I'm beginning to see I never will be anyone else but me

wish that I could peel away my skin
to reveal the suffering within
everyone would finally understand
I'm not happy like they think I am

I'm beginning to see I'd much rather be anyone else but me
I'm just fooling myself nobody else sees my misery
all the roles I play are simply a way to get through the day
I'm beginning to see I never will be anyone else but me

Living in the dark afraid to face the dawn
searching for a reason a reason to go on
my silent cries are only heard by me
I wish that someone someone would finally see

Will you finally see I'd much rather be anyone else but me
I'm just fooling myself nobody else sees my misery
all the roles I play are simply a way to get through the day
will you help me to see I don't want to be anyone else but me
will you help me to see I was not meant to be anyone else but me
