It was urgent

lighten up, Francis

Don’t forget to play this at Hot Topic in 2006.

(Verse 1) In a world of facts and logic, I stand alone, My feelings buried deep, my heart like stone. I’ve got the data, the evidence, and the charts, But emotions still haunt my intellectual heart.

(Chorus) I’m Ben Shapiro, a voice of reason they say, But inside, there’s a darkness, a price I must pay. I’ve calculated life in black and white, But my soul’s drowning in the depths of the night.

(Verse 2) Debates and arguments, they’re all I know, But I’m lost in the shadows, with nowhere to go. The world’s so cold, and I’m feeling so small, I’m just a man with answers, but I’ve lost it all.

(Chorus) I’m Ben Shapiro, a voice of reason they say, But inside, there’s a darkness, a price I must pay. I’ve calculated life in black and white, But my soul’s drowning in the depths of the night.

(Bridge) I’ve denied my emotions, pushed them away, But now they’re creeping back, night and day. I’m not just statistics, I’m not just debate, I’m a human with feelings, it’s never too late.

(Verse 3) I’ll embrace the shadows, the pain and the fears, Let these emotions flow, let them dry my tears. In this emo song, I’ll find my release, And maybe, just maybe, I’ll find some peace.

(Chorus) I’m Ben Shapiro, a voice of reason they say, But inside, there’s a darkness, a price I must pay. I’ve calculated life in black and white, But my soul’s drowning in the depths of the night.

(Outro) This emo song is my confession, my truth, I’ll find my way back, I’ll find my youth. For even in facts and logic’s embrace, There’s a human soul, and I’ll find my place.
