[Hook]

I was alone inside my head

I put my pain into my pen

This music’s hard to share so get to know me through these letters

[Verse 1]

Dear classmates

If you found this letter

It means I left it sitting on your desk

My band followed your account on Instagram

You never followed back?

I’m the guy across the row

Hiding underneath his hat

You didn’t even know I made the music

And matter of fact

I’m the last person in the world you would expect to rap

Walk in class, always last, music in my ears on blast

You thought I was socially uncomfortable or really deaf

You didn’t know the beat filling my ears was just my next attack

I’m the kid that you ignore because I always dress depressed

Unless you met me sweatin’ playing covers on the street you passed

You didn’t throw your money in the case;

Guess I sounded bad?

You say I never gave my name, but tell me did you ever ask?

This music is my life’s story

Turn the page to get to know me

Skip the song, oh, was I boring?

Spill my guts, was that too gory?

I just thought that you might like to know what’s going on inside

I bet I see you follow back when I get home, you’re on that hype

I guess to end this letter I’ll just say that you should light a candle

My thoughts tend to get a little dark

Sincerely, Daniel

Dear teachers

If you found this letter

You’re probably surprised to hear my story

I seem happy

I seem friendly

Seems to you I’m doing ok

Then I linked you up to listen to my demos

And you thought it was cute I recorded on a potato

But then you saw the numbers

You’re like, “Wait a minute this kid’s got support!

His friends and family paying dollars

Selling demos out the door!

Let me take another listen

Didn’t hear those words before!”

You can’t believe that this is the same kid that just walked out your door

But this when you realize that your student’s got a lot of problems

Kinda sounds depressed, and really stressed, and sorta like he’s fallen

Off the edge

“I think maybe I’ll call him

First, lemme go home so I can finish off the album

But wait, that last song? It sounds like he’s got it figured out!

I always knew he followed God, I didn’t know he’d been through Hell

But look he got there! It seems to me he’s doing ok now!”

Just wait the songs won’t ever end, got 53 more written down

So Miss or Mister

You’ve reached the end and now you finally know me

Will you still subscribe? Or were my songs a little too informing?

If they were then I won’t blame you if I see that you hit cancel

Now I’m walking out that door again

Sincerely, Daniel

Dear Daniel

If you found this letter

It means that we’re still tryna understand

God gives us trials, gets us through them, then we do it all again

And in the future, I guess I’m still tryna make amends

I listen to this track because I need to hear what I once said

No one gets us, we’re unique, there’s no one else inside our head

So when we’re sick and need the cure there’s only one place we can get it

Look at your wrist and read that verse and don’t you dare forget

That all the pain and hurt are preparation for what lies ahead

We started out depressed but God gave us a purpose

And even when we felt lost He showed us where the church was

When we had to change, He gave us strength to do it

We needed to express, that’s when He gave us all our music

If you’re hearing this it means you still remember walking down those halls empty and hallow couldn’t swallow that you’d have to see tomorrow but what followed was the peace amidst the sorrow when you saw that really God was reaching his arms out to help us breathe it all out

Maybe you played this track because you think you’re there again

And if it’s true I think you need to kill the dark you’re living in

We did it once and did it twice and over and over again

So run it back and do the very same thing that we always did

I hope it helped

Going back in time

But in my own experience it hurts when we rewind

But I can promise what I said is true

And that you can trust me

Sincerely, You
