This is it, say the word you've rehearsed,
It is time to stop living in reverse.
Defy his gaze,
And say that magic phrase.
Do it now and do it fast!
Do it finally at last.
Scream with all your might,
Gather every bit that want to fight.
Last chance, let it slip.
Feel the blood go drip from your lip.
Time nearly stops moving oh so slow,
Time to wake up, time to say "no"
It's like being in a circus,
People come to see me smile.
The girl that doesn't want to,
Yet she smiles all the time.
They gasp if they see the smile fading,
Like it does from time to time.
When they are not looking,
The mouth doesn't tell any lies,
Because it is too busy,
Catching teardrops from her eyes.
I'm looking at the world through blurry eyes,
Everybody is selfish trying to hit the big prize.
Why don't they enjoy the moment in which we live?
Everyday we get minutes to give.
Minutes to care,
And minutes to share,
All the joys that we receive.
These are the moments that should make us believe.
Believe in kindness,
And believe in love,
To believe that not all comes from above.
One decision and I'm slipping away,
No more crying, no more tears,
Just the hole of nothing absorbing me in.
I go out the way I went in hopeless and lost,
Alone and empty, crying.
I was never meant to be more than a lesson,
I was meant to do, to be what I am.
I stopped being human the day I lost the meaning of me.
I'm dead no longer just gone.
Don't cry, never cry,
I was nothing more than a broken heart never to be fixed.
There is a stranger in my mirror,
So unknown, yet so familiar.
Behind the face is sadness and sorrow,
But the face only shows a happiness you cannot borrow.
At home she silently cry,
She wants no pity, that's the reason why.
She covers up the puffy eyes and red cheeks,
Nowhere in hell will she look weak.
The dust finally cleared,
Her friends are gone, her family disappeared.
She is always the for others,
But helping her no one bothers.
A heart in a chest,
Desperate to get out.
Planning an escape, mapping a route.
It doesn't realise it is blessed,
It is safe hidden in a cage.
One two three, one two three,
Beat by beat, closer to being free.
In a battle with time and old age.
The taste of victory must be sweet.
It keeps fighting, keeps hitting,
The heart is stubborn, never quitting.
Just one more day, one more heartbeat.
