Didn't You Know
Yeah, I'm fine
I will always tell you
Never believe me
It's the only lie that's true
I'm surrounded by light
I try to keep it on
But up in here
It's already off, it's gone
I never knew
It'd be this hard
Every time I'm alone
The wound is etched and scarred
I wish I could tell you
I don't think you know
The rip, it tears
Every time you go
I reach out
I'll go above and beyond
But it only pierces deeper
When you don't respond
But don't worry
No burden to you
This isn't your problem
I just wish you knew
For now, I keep my hands out
I'm capable of keeping control
Arms stretched fingers spread palms up
Waiting to be grabbed, by just one soul
But the longer I wait
The older time grows
I. Keep. Sinking. Down.
Where insanity shows
