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
