ShyLock - The Missing Piece

‘Don't go’
Is probably where it started
Though I don't know
How it got to this point
Try to think slow
My mind is racing
With my heartbeat
My gaze has turned to stone
And my face
No expression to withhold
With no feelings
I'm feeling out of place
I'm fighting demons
I'm always being chased
By, in my mind, every time I close my eyes
Wait Shy
Is that what they call you now?
You write rhymes?
That's expression in itself
Don't fake smile
If that's not what you feel
Just be yourself
Be true and be real
You're upset
But things'll turn around
Just for now, for me
Just try to stick it out
And you'll see
There's a plan, don't doubt it
Just breathe
I always knew you'd make me proud
And it hurts
Cuz I feel her right there
Every time I get scared
I can never be prepared
It hurts
Hanging on to this wish
One day you'll appear
See you in my prayers
It still hurts
Cuz I feel her right there
I can almost touch her
I'm still just grabbing air
I can almost hear her
I think I better check my ears
I better check my head
This has been happening for years
So I hope you hear this carefully, these aren't all my words
Some are her's cuz now she speaks through me in verse
You see at first, the first moment her body hit the hearse
I was cursed, and it's only been getting worse
On my nerves since my birth and by which I mean rebirth
Cuz soon as she left the earth I became a different person
I'm sure by now it's been happening for years
All the tears can't get across what can't be put into words
And what's worse, what's left behind, still here, 3 little birds
That seem to have lost their way but still trying for what it's worth
But what's it worth? Huh? When's the last time you heard me chirp?
Been almost 8 years, in hiding, living in fear
From myself, from my demons that follow me everywhere
It's like I'm running from my shadow but never getting clear
It's always there to remind me
Keep searchin' for my purpose
I'm certain
One day it'll be worth it
And it hurts
Cuz I feel her right there
Every time I get scared
I can never be prepared
It hurts
Hanging on to this fear
One day you'll appear
See you in my prayers
It still hurts
Cuz I feel her right there
I can almost touch her
I'm still just grabbing air
I can almost hear her
I think I better check my ears
I better check my head
This has been happening for years
That's why it bothers me so much cuz I feel her right there
All the time, right there beside me
I just can't see or hear her
But I'm always looking, hoping my eyes might play a trick on my mind
And be the trigger that causes my brain to flicker for a sec and
Not to mention if I'm lucky on this mission
I'll travel through dimensions, I reckon with direction
Being guided by the heavens, I'll finally find the connection
Make the switch and then it happens, I'll see you for just a second
That's all I need to know inside that you still exist
But it hasn't happened yet and these thoughts, they still persist
I can't resist the thought that I can contact your spirit
And bring you back just long enough to overcome fear and
And though it gets me down I won't lose sight of my vision
Every time the wind howls I put my ear out and listen
You're the missing piece I need to break out of this prison
Until it's found a piece of me will always be missing
And it hurts
Cuz I feel her right there
Every time I get scared
I can never be prepared
It hurts
Hanging on to this wish
One day you'll appear
See you in my prayers
It still hurts
Cuz I feel her right there
I can almost touch her
I'm still just grabbing air
I can almost hear her
I think I better check my ears
I better check my head
This has been happening for years
