Why must I completely conceal
What I think with how I feel?
How long can I keep this inside?
It's eating away my strength and pride
Shredding me to worthless tears
only hiding me from my fears
Everytime I try to grasp for air
I am smothered in despair
Always told I'm doing wrong
Always told that I'm not strong
Every single step I take
Just leads to one more mistake
And yet I sit fully consumed
Mindlessly lamenting over my doom
Waiting for a pigment of light
To altar my negative sight
Please take me out of this trance
And just give me one more chance
'Cause I'm losing trace of what is real
Caught up in emotions that I feel
Every single cut and burn
Tells me that I must learn
How to keep moving on
Even when all hope is gone
'Cause now I've got nothing left to lose
I'm completed stuck and confused
It's sad to think I'm all alone
Left to move on on my own
But isn't that part of life?
To fight through pain with burdens of strife?
You can't always have your way
We'll all die in the end some day
But until then I'll keep going
It'll hurt but it won't showing
I'll drain it all out of my head
I'll keep breathing, but be emotionally dead
