Destroying myself from the inside
Smashing the mask with my fist
I feel like I've died
Feeling the me that I project to others slip away
Revealing a scared, burned soul
The pain is my fire, fueling the hate I feel
I want to scream, but I lock it all away
Crying inside till all the tears are gone
Cold, glistening metal that doesn't care, either way
I'm clinging to empty promises of better days
Knowing the lie
And not having the courage to end it
Red rain threatens from pale clouds
But never falling
Through lies, fights, hurt
Drowning in a pool of inner darkness
Screaming to be saved
And wanting to let go all at once
Wanting to let my fingers slip from the edge to plummet down
Surrounded by a crowd, only to feel alone in myself
I've forgotten how to hope
I've forgotten how to smile...
