The Anonymous Ones

Ever look at 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 just catch it, stay a minute more (Minute more, minute more now, minute more) There's a little moment after the sunny smile that eyes fall to the floor (To the floor, to the floor now, to the floor) And then truth starts peeking through (Peeking through) They don't lie 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 bury, 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 (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? And truth starts peeking through They don't lie 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 bury, they bury) 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 (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, heavy Anonymous ones never let you see the hate they carry (They carry, they carry, they carry) All the 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
