There are periods at the end of sentences that call for silence My whole life seems to be that pause Because when I wake up I seem to always feel alone Whether to not even try that day is a simple coin toss Everyone sees me as being so strong But the strongest people are just better at hiding it Because when I look into the mirror I am not pleased My pride is a gag and I am biting it When you pour water into a cup there's a certain extent before it becomes overflow Allow me to be the silhouette of a porcelain glass And my unexpressed emotions have no where to go But it's never been a trend to admit you're scared Scared that you might turn on yourself Because sometimes I feel like something takes over Covering my mouth from crying for help

Dead Silence
There are periods at the end of sentences that call for silence My whole life seems to be that pause Because when I wake up I seem to always feel alone Whether to not even try that day is a simple coin toss Everyone sees me as being so strong But the strongest people are just better at hiding it Because when I look into the mirror I am not pleased My pride is a gag and I am biting it When you pour water into a cup there's a certain extent before it becomes overflow Allow me to be the silhouette of a porcelain glass And my unexpressed emotions have no where to go But it's never been a trend to admit you're scared Scared that you might turn on yourself Because sometimes I feel like something takes over Covering my mouth from crying for help
