I stand there naked
Nothing is protecting me anymore
I try to strip away my layers
I pull them closer to me in fear.
I look in the mirror
Scars trailing down my body
Reminders of all the battles I have lost
I am sitting there in my Audi
Reminiscing about the good times
My skin is coated in frost
No heat can ever warm me up
I am beyond repair
I am thinking of how much I ******* up
I am far worse than an affair
I hear the battle cry
I look up at the baby blue sky
Covering my ears with my hand
Make it stop I demand
I stumble to my knees
Wanting you to hear me begging, please
My silent cries echo in your head
But you don't help
You pronounce me as dead
Life is game
To win you must know how to play
Breaking the rules is a recurring occurrence
It is the only way to gain your insurance
Those who play fair
Try to give you their assurance
But will be trapped forever in utter despair
You can never win the game
Without a sense of shame
Without sharing the blame
Without an indirect aim
Cheating or not
The outcome will always be the same
Falling apart
Unable to pick up the pieces
Of my broken heart
Hearing the sirens of the police
Running away
Faster than a prey
I can never commit
More afraid than I like to admit
Missing a piece from my vase
No amount of glue can save my grace
Prisoner of the law
Staring deep into those blackened jaws
There is no cause
I wait around for the applause
I cannot erase
The feeling inside of me
Muttering to drop out of the race
I'm good at hiding things
Better than a wife hiding her ring
I should tell the truth
I am ruining my youth
I bottle everything I feel inside
I can't take it anymore
No matter how much I tried
I cried myself at night
I wept until I was sore
I couldn't even crawl back to the shore
I'm hiding behind a screen
Trying to breathe
All the air gets knocked out of me
I am waiting for a single soul
I cry out for help
No one comes by my side
I am more alone than I ever felt

— The End —
