F.E.A.T.S
True Story
[Verse 1]
Yeah, this a true story
Sunrise in the morning
Nine or later I'm gonna hate me when it's falling
So I lay here, staring at the ceiling
I got murder on my mind
Days turn into daydreams
I'm gonna leave this all behind

[Chorus]
'Cause the silence talks too loud
And my mind needs turning down
But the light's just not around
So let the darkness hide the clouds

[Verse 2]
Yeah
See, my head's up in the clouds
I've been lying here for days
You can't cry to your friends in a breakdown
There's no proof to explain
It's looking like a faker
So I lie еveryday now
I just know that the pain ain't stoppin'
But that'll explain God, 'causе you made it
They say harden up 'cause you'll be fine
As if those words could save your life
Climb up on this tall bridge, and I'm flying
[Chorus]
'Cause the silence talk too loud
And my mind needs turning down
But the light's just not around
So let the darkness hide the clouds

[Verse 3]
I jump, I fly to the gates and
Wings out, angel in the making
Watch on and try and try and try
Help those who might or might or might
They think life is overrated
They sick of pretending
Almost stopped and made the same mistake
I held and start with the talking
'Cause when you talk, you can walk, then you're walking
You doubting, tell me with your voice
"What's the point if you're never goin' try?"

[Chorus]
Now you're here
The silence turning down
And your mind starts clearing out
And the light just might be found
So let the sunrise burn the clouds
[Bridge]
That's about seven years ago now
Me and my mate Ben were climbing some buildings down in Portsmouth
Back in the free-running days
And we saw this little girl like sat right on the edge of this six-storey car park
And we were like, "What the fuck, bro?"
Like this is mad
And we could hear her crying and stuff
And we went over to the bottom
And uh, Ben ran around the front to go and try and find some police
And I just saw a way to like climb up the sides
And try to like speak to her at the same time
I managed to get her communicating a little bit
And as I got to the top
I managed to like get her kinda out of her shell
And like chatting, and then like she starts smiling
Climbed back, um, over the edge
And um, just telling us about like just how she felt neglected
And hated by her family, and like everyone around her
And like how she just wanted to end it
And I was like man, this girl's fourteen
Like she was fourteen, bro
And to see someone in that way, at that age, like, it really woke me up
To, y'know, how much of an issue this really is

[Outro]
Now you're here
The silence turning down
And your mind starts clearing out
And the light just might be found
So let the sunrise burn the clouds
