tears bleed from my eyes,
because i've trapped them inside,
with this crazy facade,
that i'm not fragile, but strong.
and everyone's fooled, they even say they wish they could do it like i do,
you don't want to wish that at all.


i'm empty inside, something is wrong.
i've buried secrets underneath my feet for far too long.
and you want to know me, but i don't want you to know.
but then i realize you fill me with love, and i no longer feel so hollow.
you make me believe i don't have to be hollow.

i've never been so at war with myself.
does this skin really belong to me,
do these eyes see what theyre meant to see.
and they all think ive got it so figured out,
but im always looking for answers, i cant tell you when i cant tell myself.


so show me something i can keep branded in my mind, because it feels like i forget everything, everything important all of the time.
