I’ve lost faith in me
My strength faltering under the weight
Of the world around me
I’ve lost faith in me
Since I let myself fall for you

It was my courage that tempted me
To hold your hand
Respond to your smiles
And make me believe in a lie

Why did I let myself fall from my inner grace?
My heart was so strong, I had wings that could soar me high!
Yet I chose to cut them off myself
To keep myself grounded and bound to you.

You were the greatest lie
You were my ultimate sin
You were my drug, my addiction
My greatest downfall

You left
You left me alone in a cruel cruel place
After you turned everyone against me
Twisting and distorting everything to suit your story -- a story that destroyed me

Now demons haunt me
They're everywhere I go, everywhere I turn
And not a single angel in sight
All silver linings gone

I'm going crazy
The silence of my isolation is deafening
And in this, my horrid self isolation
Only the feeling of my tears break the coldness of my skin

No words can fully describe
The inner workings of my broken mind
No tears will be enough
To satisfy the thirst for comfort or relief

And as I lay here, in my isolation
I think only of the day
When the skies will clear and end
The isolation of my mind
