There's always a war inside my head...
A war of confusion, sadness, anger...
Black. White. Love. Hate. Yes. No.
I never really know...

My heart beats at a pace I can't keep up with,
Somebody take me away from all of this.
I feel so alone, so empty, in so much pain...

Yet I am not alone,
The battle will never let me truly be alone.
Behind my defenses,
There's a broken child,
Battling a war inside...

I don't know who I really am...
I get scared, I can feel the fear in my eyes...
Can you take my hand,
Tell me everything will be alright.
Where do I start...so many things...
My mind racing...
Drowning in my thoughts...
With all the things I want to say...

But I know, I wear this mask...
I wear this imaginary mask to give you hope and belief,
That I'm truly okay...
It may be invisible, this mask I wear,
But I can feel it in front of me...
