You think you know me,
This shining smile and burning eyes;
But beneath this skin I’m nothing but disguise…
And I’m still changing, My inner fire turned to ice…
No more falling, no heartache, No vows or sacrifice!
I’m breaking within, Why don’t you feel my pain?
How can I live If I give in?
Why can’t you see This darkness in me?
Help me to understand Who is in control!
What is this wraith of madness Ripping
through my heart with poisonous hands?
Destroying Every truth I have?
It taunts me…
Eludes me…
Defies me…
WAKE UP!
Under this armor My sunken heart still lives in chains,
Torn from strength and compassion to Nothing but remains…
And I’m still fading, This shield consumed my hopes and fears…
Turned my light into memory Engraved in frozen tears…
I beg you to see How much it hurts!
This struggle is real, Why won’t you hear my cries?
How can you be So cold and severe?
You left me here To stand by myself,
To find my own way, so Now I fight alone!
Reborn in pain of vengeance, You will never harm or break me again!
This beast will Swallow all I am!
The fall is endless…
Frightening…
I WIN!
As days go by I lose my mind!
Fallen in doubt Torn and confined!
I try to see, I try to fight!
What is this thing that I became?
Am I to blame?
Unyielding as stone,
Biting as glass, That’s what you wanted me to be…
