The concealed masked faces that no one sees through Brutally attacked by unintentional words The denseness of humans as they just laugh it all Don’t sense any issue but it’s not like they try Every word of pure ignored conversations Keep the feelings caged in No one sees No one bothers No one cares I feel as if the barriers accumulate over time And the people around don’t attempt to pull me back through I think that loneliness just applies as an excuse to reassure myself I’m not depressed I’ve seen the way happiness fades as soon as I make a wrong play Allowing the droplets of sky’s tears to hide my own Along with the shamed bitter coward that rests just beneath the mask Just let me rot on the inside till on the surface it shows And let the ants that were around me feel the guilt Because by now they’ve seen the arrows that have been embedded in my heart And the ice that have enclosed the pierced scars No one hears No one tries They just turn their heads and sigh They brush it off While I take a pill In order to leave a dreaded life that I don’t need And a world in which I don’t believe Let me spread across the horizon Allow these blinded eyes to truly see and let my flailing colors plague your sky Those pointless conversations that you tried to force upon me wasn’t for my benefit I know Because it’s out of pity And out of self-debt that you’ve put on yourself I can see through it all And I can see how you try so unbearably hard to believe in the counterfeit personality that you mentally devised It won’t work on me And it’s not for me It’s never for me Because what’s inside now… is nothing I’m only a shell Only a ghost Because after all Ghosts are only the shadows of outdated humans

Outdated Humans
The concealed masked faces that no one sees through Brutally attacked by unintentional words The denseness of humans as they just laugh it all Don’t sense any issue but it’s not like they try Every word of pure ignored conversations Keep the feelings caged in No one sees No one bothers No one cares I feel as if the barriers accumulate over time And the people around don’t attempt to pull me back through I think that loneliness just applies as an excuse to reassure myself I’m not depressed I’ve seen the way happiness fades as soon as I make a wrong play Allowing the droplets of sky’s tears to hide my own Along with the shamed bitter coward that rests just beneath the mask Just let me rot on the inside till on the surface it shows And let the ants that were around me feel the guilt Because by now they’ve seen the arrows that have been embedded in my heart And the ice that have enclosed the pierced scars No one hears No one tries They just turn their heads and sigh They brush it off While I take a pill In order to leave a dreaded life that I don’t need And a world in which I don’t believe Let me spread across the horizon Allow these blinded eyes to truly see and let my flailing colors plague your sky Those pointless conversations that you tried to force upon me wasn’t for my benefit I know Because it’s out of pity And out of self-debt that you’ve put on yourself I can see through it all And I can see how you try so unbearably hard to believe in the counterfeit personality that you mentally devised It won’t work on me And it’s not for me It’s never for me Because what’s inside now… is nothing I’m only a shell Only a ghost Because after all Ghosts are only the shadows of outdated humans
