Black and Purple
Music and Lyrics
Brea Lawrenson and Braiden Turner

He has to stand up and be strong
To show everyone he belongs
He has to fight to live his life
He has to hide his pain inside

And everyone is scared of him
But that’s the way that he’s gotta live
Do you think he feels his pain?
There’s no justice in this game

When he falls asleep at night
He knows the morning won’t be bright
Cause he is living in a hell
Yeah, he is trapped inside himself

But is it worth everything that he said it would be?
Has he become the enemy?
Will he ever live in a world of peace?
He’s gotta wash away these black burdens he feels
He’s gotta cover all the purple scars only he can heal

He makes that guy feel so small
Can’t hear his silent cries at all
It’s wrong to let down his guard
Cause in this world you can’t have a heart

His days are long
He wants to die
He knows that he’s a different guy
When will he take of his mask?
And leave everything in the past?
Leave it in the past
Leave it in the past

(There was a time)
Life was so much easier then I know

(A memory left behind)
I can’t remember what it’s like

(I worked so hard)
Tryin’ to make everyone bow down to me

But as hard as I try only black and purple bruises
Ache behind my eyes
Ache behind my eyes

But is it worth everything that he said it would be?
Have I become the enemy?
Am I gonna live in a world of peace?
‘Cause I washed these black burdens out of me
Yeah I healed all the purple scars everyone could see
I found me.
