Smiling is so overrated
And so is shedding tears

If I smile then I'm fake
If I cry then I'm weak

I will lock away all my emotions
And be the broken shadow no one notices

Tears of diamond
Crash on your shirt
Each one striking harder
At your empty heart

There was an arm
Around your shoulder
It grew lighter
As you grew older

Today it's gone
Never to be found
And these diamonds
Fall to the ground
For my mother and for her mother

i held a bird in my hands
his wings were broken
he begged me to fix him
i tried, oh how i tried,
but all he really wanted
was the strength to fly away

How do you even fight
A battle that's in yourself?
To answer: It's impossible
I know
I'm giving up
