I turn my face and look away,
I hold my tears till they are gone
The pain helps me realize that
Falling in love makes me a pawn.

Fly high!
That's what they'll say,
after you wreck your car
and spill your brains.

They won't know--
or maybe they will.
****** tomb,
disguised as "wonderful daughter,
great friend."

Everyone has earplugs,
blindfolds too.
The epidemic is supplying
some for you.

Russian roulette
has some competition.
This ain't some new
invention...

Nobody cares--
it's not them.
Nobody cares--
unless it's them.
But it's too late by then.

Grasp the tail of life
Holding on to pain well spent
Tears and worst fears came true
Feeling of struggle, snuggled on a cold shoulder.
Trapped in this world and it's felt, to no help.
I'm on the edge of my faith
Taking a chance of what's never been my fate.
It's just the worst to come.
Broken promises, put me at the end of the list
Overcame the feat but
I'm still walking on glass with no shoes on my feet.
What's real? Who's fake?
Life taught me the chances I have to take.
Decisions, Decisions, to make.
Pain, is still in my faith.
No choice but to hold on.
