Everyone has a story, a secret
they haven’t told.
Hold it close, for fear of being alone
A map into the stars, they’re hoping to
Find a way to remember
without a way to remind
We hide ourselves
Draw into the shadows when we
have nothing else
Is it lonely out in that world of yours?
Is it lonely to watch your whole world
fall apart at your feet?
The only expression you can show defeat.
Even that’s a stretch,
all you want to do is
stare blankly ahead.
Thinking about what’s gonna happen,
when nothing’s happened yet.
Who needs a heart if it’s only going to break?
It’s better to be heartless,
At times like this
Nothing seems like it’s going the right way.
The wrong turns are going in circles until your dizzy.
And feeling like this is never gonna end.
Because as long as you’re dead inside,
it's an endless cycle that'll never break.
