I see them, over there

Lurking in the Shadows

Is it my time already?

Oh well, no one will ever know...

Because I feel invisible

My Problems are unsolvable

It is driving me insane

I just wish for someone

Just anyone

To help me through the pain

Here I am, staring at my Reflection

Trying to fight against my inner demons

But no matter how hard i really try

They always find a way to make me cry

I tried hard you know... To fight those demons... I really did

I see them, the normal kids

With all the friends and flash gear

I wish to be just like them

But all i can do is live in fear

My mind says everyone hates me

That I'm not worth a penny

My whole life is worthless

I’m gonna overcome this obstacle

Jump over the high hurdle

And make this path more painless

Here I am, staring at my Reflection

Trying to fight against my inner demons

But no matter how hard i really try

They always find a way to make me cry

Mental health isn't a joke, you fool

If you think it is, you really are a tool

While you're on the net trolling away

Kids are hurting themselves every day

Social Media giants, protect the young

Stop the people who think bullying the vunerable is fun

I encourgae all of you to look at your reflection

And say to yourself ‘I’m going to take some action'!

(Go and show it the score...)

(We don’t want it no more...)

(Go and show it the score...)

(We don’t want it no more...)

(Go and show it the score)

Yeah, show it who's boss

(We don’t want it no more)

Say that we don't give a toss

(Go and show it the score...)

We will one day be rid of it!

(We don't want it no more...)

That underlying mental git!

(Go and show it the score...)

Let's make the world a better place

(We don't want it no more...)

Bring a smile to every kid's face

(Go and show it the score...)

Stare at that reflection!

(We don't want it no more...)

And take some action!

Here I am, staring at my Reflection

Trying to fight against my inner demons

But if we all get up and do something to try

One less child will need to cry

Here I am, staring at my Reflection (staring at my reflection yeah!)

Trying to fight against my inner demons (those inner demons yeah!)

But if we all get up and do something to try (try, try, try, try!)

One less child will need to cry (need to cry, cry, cry!)

Here I am, staring at my Reflection (Whoo-Hoo!)

Trying to fight against my inner demons (inner demons, you know it, you know it!)

But if we all get up and do something to try

One less child will need to cry

Know about the child that cries

You know all about it

Stare at that reflection

And take some action, yeah!

Stare at your reflection... Take some action
