This mask I wear
It conceals myself
I cannot bear
To reveal myself
This mask I wear
I paint it well
So no one sees that my life is hell
The mask I wear
It’s cracking at the seems
The light I’ve neglected so long
It’s starting to shine through
And maybe, just maybe,
I’ll finally be real to you.

can you hear me from up here?
i know my being here makes you there
though i still feel as if
you are there, and so i am here
it takes long for my steps to land
my voice might ring forever,
though i can't hear it
can't bear to be near
the atmosphere which shields me
from you
from myself
and every little meteoroid
that i witness time and time again
how quickly they all fall to you

Keep your head above water
Get the air into your lungs
Keep the blood flowing in your vessels
When there is life, hope exists
The end of the tunnel is near, just persist
The sun will shine again
Just believe a little more
Winning is guaranteed

It started like a Forest fire,
Burning wild and freely...

Ended like a fallen empire,
Crumbled and full of debris..

How could it end this way?!

From stacking bricks and
Building walls..
Ending like nothing ever happened
at all..

How could it end this way?!

If "I love you" was a promise,
Then you gave me a disease.
An illness uncurable, for a person
To be deceased...

How could it end this way?!

I've been burning so nice,
Can I see your ocean eyes?
As clear as the nightsky.

Can it all just fade away?
