I look in the mirror and I see flaws
I see the things that I try to conceal
with make-up, fake smiles, and friends
Yet it never fills up the void
As empty as a dry well
And as deep as the ocean
I can never fill the emptiness within me
So I use pain to find control
Because in this chaotic life
I cannot find what I need nor want
So I resolve to pain and sadness,
But pretend it's alright
Because it's much easier to say I'm okay
than say the reasons why
To someone who won't understand
