Behind the scenes

The world ain't what it seems

People dying on TV screens

Just another victim in society

Hard to find sobriety

Which gives me anxiety

She is what I try not to be

He is what I try not to be

I just want to be me

That waitress you complain to

Is working to jobs so she can feed two

That cop you shot

Had a family oh but you forgot

That one legged man you made fun of

Was in the army fighting for our country and freedom

That mother who couldn't afford milk

Just paid for her sons funeral to lay him in silk

You forget about behind the scenes

Drip drip late at night on my pillow

Forgive me of my sins god

What have I done to deserve this

I was fighting with you

Now I'm hurting with you

I'm writing this music to show you

The message that the world can't see

One by one I see another heart bleed

I can't plead

But I can read

This book that is legendary

On tv

See more people smoking weed

Little do you know about the suffering

The buffering

The moms and dads tears fall on the bed

There yelling at him saying take me instead

Why did he have to be dead

But instead you have to live through the pain

Look at his face it's a smile

But it's gonna fade

Lost his wife to a drunk driver

And now he's not a survivor

Took a gun up to his head

The door opens his son said

Dad I love you don't want you dead

But turns the gun around and shot him point blank BAM

Lying on the ground crying

Cause the sounds

Wakes up from this nightmare just to see his son sitting there

Dad what happen to mom

He shakes his head and said go to bed

You don't see the world that I see

I see the behind the scenes

Happy people aren't always what they seem

Because of behind the scenes

There’s two stories to a person’s life

One the side you see

And one there secret diary

She works at nights

Exits work

Plans to go home to see her kids

Until she gets a phone call that her son is dead

How you may ask

Suicidal thoughts all in his head

Because that kid you called fat is struggling can't afford healthy food

Because his moms just a pizza delivery driver

She tries her best but ain't getting no we're

Know he is done with this

An overdose with is depression pills

The bottle on the floor next to his hand

Damn you really don't see behind the scenes

That kid that said that smells in living on the streets barely eats so he can get his degree

That person you made fun of is not who they seem because of behind the scenes

That kid with a weird face you said

Saved his little sister in fire and got 3rd degree burns on his head

If you don't believe me

Look behind the scenes

I have a huge behind the scenes

But I like to keep it a secret

A mother dealing sex

So she can feed her baby

Doesn't know who that dad is

That's how bad it is

This racist has to go

Women of her son lies to him

Says he can't have any friends

Because he lives in majority black

Neighborhood

Say the n words twenty million times a day

She doesn't accept gays

Says they will go to hell

And he took a knife to his wrist

Because he's gay

He can't say

Cut to deep now he's on the ground

Waiting for god to save him

The mother doesn't care about gays

Till she sees her son on the ground

She prays for forgiveness

And forever accepting

Her son was a blessing

And she's guessing

I wish that I could show you all the things I see

People dying inside you don't see a thing because of behind the scenes

You start to cry he's just an f boy on the rise

He played your heart like a game of tic tac toe he's a player can you see but you love him for who he be

But he just wants a chick to hang of his arm to look good

He has 10 other girls your not the only one and you lay in bed at night knowing what he does

You don't deserve him just cause he's an f boy in disguise

Because of behind the scenes do you now

I'm not trying to say what you do is bad but look at two sides of the story

People say put yourself in his shoes

Which pair

The side you can see

Or the the side you can't

It's late at night your in your thoughts

You hear the ticking of the clock

As every second goes by

Another person dies

The family crys

This is just a circle of life

Just the version that's real
