It takes a smile to hide the pain, it takes a laugh to shrug it all away. It takes a shadow to hide the light, it takes a flame to eliminate your might. It takes a thought to change your mood, it takes a memory to make you cruel. It takes a heart to feel the sorrow, it takes a pain to make your heart hollow. It takes a breath to keep you alive, it takes a second to take your breath away, and let you die.

What it Takes.
It takes a smile to hide the pain, it takes a laugh to shrug it all away. It takes a shadow to hide the light, it takes a flame to eliminate your might. It takes a thought to change your mood, it takes a memory to make you cruel. It takes a heart to feel the sorrow, it takes a pain to make your heart hollow. It takes a breath to keep you alive, it takes a second to take your breath away, and let you die.
