Keeping up appearances,
Shutting the dark vibe down.
Keeping up appearances,
Putting on a crown.
Keeping up appearances,
Make a smile out of a frown.

Keeping up appearances,
But quietly you drown.
I walk into the woods
Taking the one less worn
Headed east
On a westbound path

Foliage thinner at times
Mountains peak through
I long for those mountains
Heading east on this westbound trail

Keep the sun at my back
As I gaze at the darkening sky
The moon shall rise
In the east on this westbound line

I want to stop
Turn around
But my heart lays at the end
East on this westbound route
Does he even know?
I don't want you to be just another body in my body count.
Just another set of lips that placed longing upon my finger tips.

I don't want you to be just another lesson that taught me that there's more colors in the rainbow than the green and blue I have been accustomed to.
Just another set of eyes that have turned all other colors into a boring tv show.

I don't want you to be just another could have been, should have been, would have been.
Just another sorry excuse for how scared I've always been.

I don't want you to be just another liking.
Just another failed attempt at loving.

I don't want you to be just another name.
Just another ***** up and I'm the only one to blame.
