Hands Up

Let me see those hands if you're frightened of yourself Let me see those hands if you've been fighting mental health Let me see those hands if you've got scars that no one sees Let me see those hands if you've ever felt incomplete You haven't been yourself for months and nobody noticed once But I've noticed all the layers, you keep wearing in the sun I know you're trying to hide all the things that you have done All the cuts and all the blood you keep harming 'cause you're numb And if your scar reopens, can I hold you 'til it closes? You haven't been yourself for years and no one's even noticed I know when you get distant that's when you need someone closest And I know you're feeling homesick 'cause you don't know where your home is Let me see those hands if you're frightened of yourself Let me see those hands if you've been fighting mental health Let me see those hands if you've got scars that no one sees Let me see those hands if you've ever felt incomplete Let me see those hands if you're frightened of yourself Let me see those hands if you've been fighting mental health Let me see those hands if you've got scars that no one sees Let me see those hands if you've ever felt incomplete I know you feel like you're invisible That's why your mental health's unphysical I just wanna say I'm sorry, you got scars all on your body And they treat you like a criminal I know you're craving love, it's like you grew up in an orphanage I know it stings every single time the water hits It's 4am and no one knows the pain you're dealing with I used to be the same, so trust me, you can beat this kid I know that I'm not perfect, I'm damaged on the surface Scars all on my legs, and they're deeper in person From a kid, I was a bird, and I just wanted someone to love me I just needed you to tell me I wasn't ugly Damn, so who do you turn into when the sun goes down and lights are off? Tell me what you're frightened of, and tell me what you're running from Who do you turn into when the moon is out and stars align Tell me how you pass the time, and tell me how you ease your mind Cause when you're out in public no one even knows you're suffering Wearing all those layers with a smile, but you're just fronting You always hurt yourself, but you would never hurt the others I know you're feeling great, but I see all of your true colours Let me see those hands if you're frightened of yourself Let me see those hands if you've been fighting mental health Let me see those hands if you've got scars that no one sees Let me see those hands if you've ever felt incomplete Let me see those hands if you're frightened of yourself Let me see those hands if you've been fighting mental health Let me see those hands if you've got scars that no one sees Let me see those hands if you've ever felt incomplete I know you grab a blade when you feel like you're a burden I know you're suffering bad, but that don't make you a bad person You wanna be understood, but no one ever understands That's why I make this music to help people raise their hands So let me see those hands if you're frightened of yourself Let me see those hands if you've been fighting mental health Let me see those hands if you've got scars that no one sees Let me see those hands if you ever felt incomplete
