If you haven't noticed
The fake smile on my face
Or the forced laugh I've created
Or the empty darkness in my eyes
Don't cry if you see my grave

Darkness and demons
Silence and nightmares
Screams and lies
Have always been my friends

I'm always reaching out for shadows
Because they know my name
I can touch shadows
Because they can see me

Another excuse
Another lie
To keep you from knowing
I want to say goodbye

Lies are here to haunt
Because roses aren't always red
Violets not exactly blue
Society lies, and you know it too

If you didn't notice
Don't scream for my name
Once you see my grave

How can you if you're screaming for a stranger?
