Running and hiding
Is my only escape
The darkness and shadows
Shut my mouth with tape

The silent screams
That I make
Aren't heard by a single soul
Because they're all fake

I covered my lips
With that beautiful red paint
I rubbed at face
I feel the taint

It's stuck in my heart
Forever it will stay
And hurting myself
Is the only way

That I can be free
For a moment
Of this misery
But it won't last

Because it's my life
Stabbing me in the back again
With that sharp knife
Held by me
