Can I borrow your eyes for a bit
To see the world as you do?
It's not fair that you're so happy
When your world is falling apart
How can you smile as  they all walk away?
Your family?
Your friends?
Your love?
How can you live like that?

With no emotion left to feel
The world turns a dark gray
I see it through your eyes
A monochrome world
With nothing left to feel
Yet you smile bright...
Is it because you know?
Is it because you know your time is up soon?
Either way whether you know it or not
This view of yours makes me want to cry

Isn't it sad when you don't have a best friend?
Isn't it sad when you don't have friends?
Isn't it sad when your broke?
Isn't it sad when you tried?
Isn't it sad when you ultimately fail?
Isn't it sad when you have such a dream that you most likely won't achieve?
Isn't it sad when no one notices you anymore?
Isn't it sad when your family kicks you out?
Isn't it sad when you're almost homeless?
Isn't it sad that you have to write out what ***** the most in your life?
But one thing is certain...
Isn't it great when someone loves you and everything about you even when you don't?
Yeah...that feels nice.

Congratulations to my little bro
Who's a master in the sport of volleyball
All that time and effort you've spent
Has paid off in the end
Mom is proud and so is dad
But so is your sister too
Good job earning that medal
And I hope you had fun
You and your teammates have had a good run

That look in your eyes
Tells me all I need to know
The way you feel
Is written right there
And this is why
I close my eyes
And only open them
To stare into yours

Don't ever look back on the mistakes you made
You've already learned your lesson
Don't dwell on those people who you once loved
It will only bring sorrow and pain

But what if those people were stupid as hell
And never deserved your love?
You can laugh at them now
As they trip and fall
Into a pit of pure comedy

Their life is a sad joke
And they'll never get far
Just because the way that they are
They're hopeless

I like to laugh a little sometimes
At the lives of each of them
They stumble and fall ad don't know why
Those stupid people I used to trust

But now as I can laugh about it
I'm sure they can only regret it
Although it doesn't matter anymore
Because now I am free

The darkness grips my shoulders
The silence claws at my skin
What am I to do with such a broken soul?
Broken not once but many times
By the people I thought would care
But in truth we are simply alone
No one feels like me
No one feels love the way I do
No one knows the darkness that suffocates me
And in turn I don't know you
Your smile is warm but you're breaking inside
You're trying to hide the scars on your soul
But even then those scars bleed through I can see
And your laughter feels hollow as well
Tell me, do you want to know...
Do you want to know what the light feels like?
Do want to dance in the sun?
Do you want to feel the smoothness
Of the sand between your toes?
Tell me, do you wish sometimes....
Do you wish that you could be happy?
Do you wish that you had friends?
Do you wish you had a lover
Who so easily could mend?
They could mend the gashes in your heart
The slashes left by those that you loved
They could heal you bit by bit
But only if you try
Only if you leave behind
The darkness that you love so much
Only if you leave behind
Those hopeless wants you clutch
So leave it all
Leave it all behind
And open your eyes
To a brand new day

Staring out the open window
Feeling the breeze whip through my hair
Lightning strikes again and again
But the rain feels so pleasant
The wind howls through the trees
As I sit there on my knees
Begging the world to please
Please love one another
And stop the ridiculous waves of hate
