all the children of the earth
abused and bullied alike
want someone to know that they're there
so one night they were all crying
at the same time
none of them knew why
they just started to cry

everything that happened
hit them at once
the bruises and black eyes
chased them down in a hunt

and it got to them everything
nothing could stop the pain
an angel came down from heaven
and they gave them the blame

but a voice into the silence
calmed them quick as could be
so they looked into the sky
and saw
not and angle
but a key

"where are you from
why do you come"
the children all called out
like a beat of a drum

"what matters is not me
it's the pain for i have come"
and the key came into them
and spoke like a bomb

we all have the same story
we all tried to fight for glory
we all lost
is this the cost?

the true bringing of madness is coming
you can't stop it
so come with me children
to a new place

where everything that's happened
won't matter
what they did to you
will not be seen
heard
or thought of

so come with me
to a place
where hurt can't be spoke of

they heard of this place
and gladly said yes
so the key said
"good
that is the end of your test"

so all looking at each other
without hesitation
on the bridge of sadness
where life had placed them

they jumped
for madness would not have caught them

but before they hit the ground
the key came out of them
"i didn't want them to jump  
i just wanted to help them"

for their hearts had been locked
he wanted to unlock them
but on the inside
he couldn't see
he didn't have time to stop them

scheming
daydreaming
heart bleeding
i take a step up
here i am
i’m breathing
in this world it’s do or die
don’t touch me
i’m leaving
i never liked the taste of silence anyway

What do I do when someone asks me
"are you ok?"

Do I tell them
I got a million miles closer to something
to which I had to stay away

Do I tell them my supposed "mentor"
Is now the source of my pain
And I could look in his eyes
Without seeing him
And see
He almost cared

Do I tell them that my father might be right
that I might be bipolar?

Do I tell them everything I've worked for
Behind their backs
Might have killed me in a second

If I looked back at at the trail of blood
That I left behind

Was there really a chance where I could have told them
*if I tried

don't talk about it
it's not real
it's not there
it's in your head
they're trying to get to you
they want your life
they want you to care
but it's not right

because sticks and stones may break your bones
but a thought can destroy a nation
don't feel for them
don't talk to them
because they won't feel for you
in the end
they'll tell you anything
to get under your skin
then when your at the bottom
you'll trust them again
don't give in
don't let them win
because they won't do the same in the end

don't think
don't speak
don't feel
because in the end

**nothing they say will be real

look into your eyes
can’t you see you’re slowly dying
But the pain was just too familiar to leave
Look at your disguise
can’t you see you’re always lying
But some words are just too  true for you to speak
there’s more to life than the scars you hide with long sleeves
So don’t stop fighting

Broken memories
In the shadow of the start
Hollow water
In the window of my heart
Tears of fire bring me higher
Taking abuse
And I'll remember to remember all of you
