The sun shines
As you wake up
Make the bed
Dress yourself up

Face the morning
With a smile on your face
Say hi to everyone
Just to brighten their days

But when the sun sets
You start to feel the toll
Your body feels sluggish
Your smile starts to fall

You feel feverish
You feel cold
You feel tired
You start to mold

You look for warmth
You hide under the covers
You close your eyes
Stay there till you recover

You open your eyes
You see the sun again
And then it starts
All over again

The words they've said
They get stuck on your head
You start to wish you were dead
As you lie on you bed

The moment you wake up
You feel a sting
You tried to cover up
The blight on your skin

The blight then spreads
It burns your skin
You hold down your screams
And hide them deep within

The blight is a constant reminder
Of all your struggles
The catalyst to your anger
And all your failures

Your anger for others
And for all their words
For leading you to failure
And taking your laughter

Their words led you astray
They played with your mind
Your courage broke away
You left your pride behind

The blight gets worse
You question your worth
Then you start crumbling
And lose faith in everything

Sadness hidden under smiles
Last wills hidden under files
Poisons hidden with medicine
You tried to keep everything in

You then descend the gallows
To run from everything that follows
You see the welcoming shadows
That wait down below

Then you stopped
Realized it's not worth it
But now you're stuck
There's no way around it

You lost your light
You're stuck in the dark
You cleansed the blight
But it left a mark

I've always been stuck
In a world without change
My time has stopped
I'm tied with locks and chains

The chains that come from my love
And the locks that come from my pain
My love for someone I'll never have
And pain for the love I'll never gain

Please help me, I want to change
Find the key to remove my chains
I need to start to walk again
Before I lose everything

So help me please
Would you be so kind?
Please give me reason
To change my mind

So I can walk again
Leave everything behind
So I can stop looking
For the things I'll never find

Everyday you wake up
You put on your neat clothes
For all the bruises and scars
That you need to cover up

All the hurt inside
That you always try to hide
It always shows on your face
All the regrets and sadness that you've faced

So before you go through the door
You put on your mask
For the show's about to start
As you open the door once more

With your cheerful mask
The endless masquerade will begin
As you try to fool yourself
And everyone else all over again

Every day you dive in
How deep will you go
Because the deeper you go
The harder it is to breath in

The deeper you go
There's a risk of losing air
The deeper you go
There's a risk of losing yourself

So how deep will you go?
How deep in your mind will you go?
To find things you never knew
To discover new things inside you

Will you take the risk
And dive deeper than before?
Or will you stay where you've been
And be satisfied with what you know?

Everyone lies
From kids to adults
Most of them lie
And some do until they die

Some lie for others
Some lie for themselves
Some lie for amusement
So which one are you?

Would you lie for your friends
To save them from themselves
Or to save them from others
And sacrifice yourself?

Would you lie to yourself
To make you feel better
So you'll stay yourself
Even at the cost of others?

Would you lie to amuse yourself
To watch others fight among themselves
Because of something you did yourself
Just because you hate everyone else?

One of these is probably you
And I'm one of them too
So again let me ask you
Which one are you?

Don't you just feel the thrill
That's the only thing you'll feel
The thrill from the things you did
From all the things that you hid

The borderline of morality
The borderline of humility
And the borderline of humanity
Is much more fragile, you see

When you start to do atrocities
You lose your morality
Then your humility
And then your humanity

So when you lose them,
What do you become?
An empty shell who schemes
Or a monster with dreams

When you're on the borderline
It's so much easier to see
How fragile human lives can be
And the only real enemy is time

On the borderline, the only thing you see
Is Good and Bad, Despair and Acceptance
Life and Death, Giving Up and Perseverance
The only thing to do is choose who you want to be

Are you going to wallow in despair?
Or are you gonna accept that that's all you'll be?
Are you gonna be strong?
Or will you be a coward like me?

Being on the borderline
Is just like being at the edge of a cliff
It's very easy to choose
If you'll jump down or back up a bit
