[Verse 1]
Heavy thoughts are shaking
The ground beneath me
I can barely stand
As the thunder rumbles
My heart crumbles
Losing who I am

[Pre-Chorus]
"Toughen up" they say
Get your head in the game
Be a man

[Chorus]
I wish that I could rise above this madness
I wish that I could shake off my disguise
I wish that I was strong enough not to feel weakness
I wish that I was brave enough to cry
How I wish that I was brave enough to cry

[Verse 2]
Down the river
Lies a place where
I could rest
But I'm too proud
Running faster
The past is whispering
Make it stop
I'm too sad
[Pre-Chorus]
"Toughen up" they say
Get your head in the game
Be a man

[Chorus]
I wish that I could rise above this madness
I wish that I could shake off my disguise
I wish that I was strong enough not to feel weakness
I wish that I was brave enough to cry
I wish that I was brave enough to cry

[Bridge]
Underneath we are each other
We're all human after all

[Chorus]
I wish that I could rise above this madness
I wish that I could shake off my disguise
I wish that I was strong enough not to feel weakness
I wish that I was brave enough to cry
