00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.410
And welcome Matthites!

00:00:01.466 --> 00:00:02.186
Lotta' you know that

00:00:02.186 --> 00:00:03.362
I'm a finalist on an

00:00:03.362 --> 00:00:04.562
internet reality show;

00:00:04.562 --> 00:00:05.872
Internet Icon!

00:00:05.872 --> 00:00:07.652
A bit redundant..

00:00:07.652 --> 00:00:08.690
If you didn't know that,

00:00:08.690 --> 00:00:11.440
I.. guess I ruined that for you..

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:12.060
I'm sorry.

00:00:12.060 --> 00:00:13.060
But what you're about to see

00:00:13.060 --> 00:00:15.441
is my final video

00:00:15.441 --> 00:00:16.032
So if you want

00:00:16.032 --> 00:00:16.844

00:00:19.546 --> 00:00:20.546
Without further ado,

00:00:20.546 --> 00:00:21.546
this song;

00:00:21.546 --> 00:00:23.066
Backwards!

00:00:36.205 --> 00:00:37.122
Backwards,

00:00:37.122 --> 00:00:38.032
forwards.

00:00:38.032 --> 00:00:40.682
I'm exploring the borders

00:00:40.682 --> 00:00:43.102
Of everything I want,

00:00:43.642 --> 00:00:45.592
everything I need.

00:00:46.252 --> 00:00:50.814
Lethal doses of my own emotions,

00:00:51.154 --> 00:00:53.284
Seep into my dreams,

00:00:53.554 --> 00:00:56.044
and paralyze me!

00:00:56.044 --> 00:00:59.122
I pick myself up off the ground,

00:00:59.122 --> 00:01:01.345
I keep telling myself,

00:01:01.345 --> 00:01:04.145
"No, I'm not backing down!"

00:01:04.145 --> 00:01:06.445
I keep telling myself,

00:01:06.445 --> 00:01:09.215
The best is still yet to come!

00:01:09.215 --> 00:01:11.529
I keep telling myself,

00:01:11.529 --> 00:01:14.669
"It's darkest before the dawn!"

00:01:15.629 --> 00:01:17.758
I'm going backwards,

00:01:17.758 --> 00:01:20.758
and yet I'm made to believe.

00:01:20.758 --> 00:01:22.685
I'm moving forwards,

00:01:23.385 --> 00:01:25.685
and I'm chasing my dreams!

00:01:25.685 --> 00:01:27.749
But I'll be,

00:01:28.569 --> 00:01:30.579
just who I wanna be,

00:01:30.749 --> 00:01:33.701
without you controlling,

00:01:34.331 --> 00:01:35.841
controlling me.

00:01:36.641 --> 00:01:38.340
Toxic thoughts

00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:41.340
can make me easily drop this.

00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:43.608
But I won't shift my step!

00:01:43.608 --> 00:01:46.608
So there's nothing to regret!

00:01:46.608 --> 00:01:48.655
I'm broken and coping,

00:01:48.655 --> 00:01:51.655
with this broken hope and,

00:01:51.655 --> 00:01:53.783
I kept blaming them,

00:01:53.783 --> 00:01:56.783
when the doubt came from within!

00:01:56.783 --> 00:01:59.863
No more ugly white lies

00:01:59.863 --> 00:02:02.143
that I keep telling myself,

00:02:02.143 --> 00:02:04.793
this time I'm gonna try!

00:02:04.793 --> 00:02:07.103
I'm not just telling myself,

00:02:07.103 --> 00:02:09.933
The best is still yet to come!

00:02:09.933 --> 00:02:12.103
I keep telling myself,

00:02:12.103 --> 00:02:15.373
"It's darkest before the dawn!"

00:02:16.213 --> 00:02:18.694
I'm going backwards,

00:02:18.734 --> 00:02:21.044
and yet I'm made to believe.

00:02:21.044 --> 00:02:23.614
I'm moving forwards,

00:02:23.614 --> 00:02:26.614
and I'm chasing my dreams!

00:02:26.614 --> 00:02:28.344
But I'll be,

00:02:28.904 --> 00:02:31.344
just who I wanna be,

00:02:31.344 --> 00:02:34.536
without you controlling,

00:02:34.796 --> 00:02:36.786
controlling me.

00:02:37.426 --> 00:02:41.396
I will be seen and be heard,

00:02:41.396 --> 00:02:45.716
and they will hang on my every word.

00:02:47.386 --> 00:02:51.613
I will break free from the chains,

00:02:51.613 --> 00:02:55.803
and beat anything you throw in my way.

00:02:57.513 --> 00:03:01.681
I will be seen and be heard,

00:03:01.681 --> 00:03:06.111
and they will hang on my every word.

00:03:07.681 --> 00:03:11.712
I will break free from the chains,

00:03:11.712 --> 00:03:15.762
and beat anything you throw in my way.
