Music Inside Me

I’ve thrown away the past

There’s no music I haven’t heard

I must’ve heard it all before

Even if I can’t hear

There’s music inside me, right?

Past, future, present—

Now is when I’m the youngest

There’s no music I haven’t heard

Even if I can’t see

There’s a hero inside me, right?

I don’t know what’s real

Maybe the fake is the real thing

The only thing I can trust is myself

Time moves forward

You can’t go back to the past

You get that, right?

Maybe

It’s just that I hate myself

That I can’t love others

That living is just too hard sometimes

But it’s okay

It’ll be okay, for sure

Somehow, we’ll get through

As long as we’re alive

Until the end—

It’ll be okay, for sure
