True Story

Yeah, and it’s a true story

So I rise in the morning

Now I know later I’m gon’ hate me

Wind is falling

So I lay here, staring at the ceiling

I got murder on my mind

Days turn into daydreams

I’m gon’ leave this all behind

Cause the silence talks to loud

And my mind needs turning down

But the lights just not around

So let the darkness hide the clouds

Yeah, see my heads up in the clouds

I’ve been lying here for days

You can’t cry to your friends in a break down

There’s no proof to explain

It’s looking like a faker

So I lie everyday now

I just know that the pain ain’t stopping

And my thoughts blame God cause he made 'em

They say harden up 'cause you’ll be fine

As if those words could save a life

Climb up on this tall bridge and I’m flying

'Cause the silence talks to loud

And my mind needs turning down

But the light's just not around

So let the darkness hide the clouds

I’ll jump

I’ll fly to the gates in

Wings out

Angel in the making

Watch on and try and try and try

Help those who might oh might oh might

They think life is overrated

They sick of pretending

I almost stoped and made the same mistake

I’ll help and stop with the talking

Cause when you talk, you can walk then you’re walking

You doubt me and tell me with your voice

What’s the point if you’re never gon’ try

Now you’re here

The silence turning down

And your mind starts clearing now

But the lights just might be found

So let the sunrise burn the clouds

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

Now you’re here

The silence turning down

And your mind starts clearing now

But the lights just might be found

So let the sunrise burn the clouds

Yeah

Mmm
