Conditioned into silence, out of fear of violence we shut our mouths to avoid the pain, the pain that won't and can't go away.
We are divided, our beliefs undecided, our true thoughts in hiding, we are like puppets miming.

Everyone has a drug, and sadly you are mine.
But whenever we talk, I feel like a waste of your time.
Maybe I'm not worthy, but you sure are addicting.
Because after a while, even joy turns to sickness.

Hearing the tapping of rain,
I wish it'd wash away my pain.
A sound we all hear,
but rain runs differently than tears.
Rain streams down your face,
it doesn't have a salty taste.
I want my tears to wash away,
but I choke when the rain comes out to play.

I wanna create, but I haven't got the tools.
People wanna be different, but they follow the rules.
They want someone special, but they won't be that person.
Everyone's stuck as the same ****** version.
Become your own person,learn something new.
While you're there, you might find the real you.

You should end it all now, put down the pen don't write!
I can't help it, it could lead somewhere else, it might-
Enough of might now we must do!
I really don't want to follow this plan through.
Just pull out the knife, leave a little scratch!
That didn't hurt so bad,let's do more of that.
Yes see now you understand!
What?
Self harm.Its all part of the plan!

We mock others for their beliefs, but we hardly know our own.
Lies we live are a reality, they go straight to the bone.
Everything we see and read is shown in a specific light.
So no one says a word, no one questions why our armies fight.

We're told they're terrorists, while our own troops attack not just to bruise.
Taking out civilians, to justify what they saw on the news.
It doesn't matter if it's legal, horrible things have been before.
Surely we should move forward now and learn from what we saw?

Or we can accept the lies they feed us, as we eat the lies we live.

When I was with you, i felt like I had a purpose.
When I was with you, I wasn't JUST a person.
When I was with you, I didn't feel this way.
When I was with you, I always knew what to say.
When I was with you, I got to see the humour in your smile.
When I was with you, I would have run a mile.
When I was with you, you looked at me like I was you one and only joy.

Now I see you give that look to him, that other boy.
