Beautiful song
The Anonymous Ones
Ever looked all the people
Seem to know exactly how to be?
(How to be, how to be now, how to be)
You think they don't need piles of prescriptions to function naturally?
(Functioning natural)
Take a look and you might catch it
Stay a minute more
(Minute more, minute more now, minute more)
There's a little moment after the sunny smile
Their eyes fall to the floor
(To the floor, to the floor now, to the floor)
And then truth starts peeking through (peeking through)
They're a lot like me and you
They can fake a smile too well
The anonymous ones
Never let you see the hate they carry
(They carry, they carry, they carry)
All those anonymous ones
Never name the quiet pain they bury
(They bury, they bear, they bear)
Keep on keeping secrets that they think they have to hide
What if everybody's secret is they have that secret side?
And to know, to know we're not alone
Is all we're hoping for
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
(Anymore)
Spot the girl who stays in motion
Spins so fast so she won't fall
(World's spinning so fast, spinning so fast)
She's built a wall of her achievements
To keep out the question, without it, is she worth anything at all?
Then truth starts peeking through
They're a lot like me and you
They can fake a smile too
The anonymous ones
Never let you see the hate they carry
(They carry, they carry, they carry)
All those anonymous ones
Never name the quiet pain they bury
(They bury, they bear, they bear)
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But that doesn't mean they're not heavy
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But that doesn't mean they're not heavy
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But that doesn't mean they're not, heavy, heavy
Anonymous ones
Never let you see the hate they carry
(They carry, they carry, they carry)
All those anonymous ones
Never name the quiet pain they bury
Keep on keeping secrets that they think they have to hide
What if everybody's secret is they have that secret side?
And to know, to know we're not alone
Is all we're hoping for
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
The anonymous ones never let you see the hurt they carry (They carry, they carry, they carry) All those anonymous ones never name the quiet pain they bury.
