No one ever asks if i'm okay
But when they ever do i say i'm fine or good  
I lie through my teeth
i'm fine
Even though im really not
I don't want them to worry about someone like me
I stay in a haze of lies
When i try to escape i get pushed back in
Every word cuts through
It's like putting salt in a wound
Say something stupid, something distracting
Or leave it alone and don’t say anything
I see all the shadows passing by
But i keep my head down
In fear i might break down
I might be losing my mind
I’m already haunted inside
I can't say anything
There's nothing to say
Im speechless
To afraid to ask for help
