Things look like they're changing, but they are really just the same. I am still just as lonely, no one even knows my name. No matter what I try I am still just as worthless. No matter what I do I still feel just as hopeless. Bombs exploding in my chest. My brain is bleeding in my head. The tears I won't allow to flow burn like acid down my throat. My body shakes with all the pain of these thoughts that mutilate my brain. I try to make myself appear as if I'm not being burned alive by fear. I put a smile on my face and fake that I've accepted my mistakes, but inside I can feel my heart as it's slowly ripping itself apart.

Burned Alive
Things look like they're changing, but they are really just the same. I am still just as lonely, no one even knows my name. No matter what I try I am still just as worthless. No matter what I do I still feel just as hopeless. Bombs exploding in my chest. My brain is bleeding in my head. The tears I won't allow to flow burn like acid down my throat. My body shakes with all the pain of these thoughts that mutilate my brain. I try to make myself appear as if I'm not being burned alive by fear. I put a smile on my face and fake that I've accepted my mistakes, but inside I can feel my heart as it's slowly ripping itself apart.
