Anemic - Still Waters lyrics

[Verse 1] People always doubted me and thought I'd never reach my dreams But now it seems someone's gotten through my seams and seen the real me And I feel opened like you cut into my veins But at the same time, I feel a connection that we've made I feel like I can trust you, you've seen who I really am And what I really do, when I rap, I'm no longer mad It's kinda sad where I was before to see that I've made it here, away from fear Only afraid of fear to eat me but I won't let it get near me Just because you never saw my spirit in tears Doesn't mean my soul doesn't hurt, my heart and mind have gone to Hell and back here They've made it, and music has saved it Now I'm waiting for my chance to get here and I'll take it There will be so many people I'll meet and look forward to seeing And if any of them doubt because of my personality That's alright, you're like everyone else who started with my dream I just want you all to remember, still waters run deep [Verse 2] When I was growing up, I always used to be really timid Minded my own business, sick with all these uncertain feelings I was filled with creativity while I was trapped by reality Who knew I'd grow up to be so vicious with this mentality Inside my mind, as a child, I was fighting a fight Praying and hoping to God that I'd never reach that one night I didn't want to be left in fright because I was being picked on And treated like the normal cla**, learning my left from my right I know I didn't deserve it, it hurt they didn't know I had potential Essentially, I'm upset that you didn't think I was gifted, I felt mental Just look at me now, I'm opening opportunities myself Too bad you didn't see this in me six years ago when I really needed help Getting out of this hole, I was already filled with talent But then it vanished and I had to relearn it and make learning a habit I was tired of that crap, opened my chances in high school without my father And low income, I made it, these are no longer still waters [Verse 3] I've been making so many friends along the way I think this is cut out for me, rap's the place I'll stay To this day, it's helped me cope with suicide, bullying, and pain I retaliated, attained a grip on life, and now it's maintained Just wait, some day you'll see me on the stage and I will have made it Going from being timid and shy to making my way through tough mazes Amazing the fans by showing them still waters turning to fast rapids My growth is rapidly having an impact on my rapping Used to think my life was crappy and that was a handicap Enjoy life while you can and let the waves guide you, ride it while you can Trust me, it'll all get better When everyone knows what runs under those waters like bad weather This song is the peak of emotion and the center of a storm The center of the anger, getting real before I end the war It's getting cold more and more as you wait longer, so take advantage of Your opportunities, please understand that life is short
