​denson camp - Portrait of a Self-Conscious Man

{Verse 1}
In the corner sits a man
Hidden with a half-smile, solo cup of water in his hand
He keeps his eyes down on the floor
Feeling like he’ll never be what anybody else is looking for

{Pre-Chorus}
How can you be yourself
When you don’t know who you are?

{Verse 2}
Feels dejected as he tries
To keep himself protected from all these images of perfect guys
Takes a look into the mirror
Hates himself again and wishes he could disappear

{Verse 3}
It wasn’t like this before
(Remember what is real)
It wasn’t like this before
(You’re not as alone as you may feel)
And I don't even want to be awake
(If you don’t want to be awake)
Anymore

{Verse 4}
Focus on your breathing
(I don’t want to be awake)
Let your thoughts keep moving forward
(I don’t want to be awake)
And your mind will wander on and on and
You won’t feel the panic
(I don't want to be awake)
Anymore

{Outro}
Slip into a dream that helps you find the light
You may see the goodness in your heart
Once you stare into its darkest part
