Drowning in the ambiance of the night sky,
Tucked in a blanket lit by starlight,
In our own world when we look in each others eyes
Lying in the grass illuminated by fireflies

I try to look away but to no avail,
There's no point in trying if I'm going to fail,
So I take it in whenever I have the chance,
To stand still and steal a glance

But reality must sink in before it's too late,
For being together is not our fate,
I open my eyes to the real world again,
Another day to go through in heart wrenching pain

Believers are hard to come by nowadays
The world snuffed them out with its twisted ways
you think youre strong but never enough
to escape hell and it's feeding trough

there's always a way out if only you believe

Of all the things I've indulged in,
Nothing gets my heart bulging,
Like the thought of finally roaming free,
The thought of finally being me

I may not have an outstanding story,
And for that, I really am sorry,
But know that as of now I'm a captive,
Trapped in my skin struggling to breath

My dad says it's all for the best,
"You see my son, you're not like the rest",
I feel like it's another convoluted scheme,
That helps him relive a distant dream

I understand that it's probably for my own good,
Though that doesn't stop it from spoiling my mood,
I'll say it now as I've said countless times before,
I'm made of masks and faces not just flesh and bone
