If despair could wash away, then I'd be baptized everyday
Plunge my face into the blue, in hopes my prayers would soon come true
I've stitched my lips into a smile, in hopes my words won't give away
The voice inside gives into pain, then simmers down after awhile
I've dug myself into the sand, and built a castle tall and grand
To keep the thieves from breaking in, to stab me over and over again
I shun away the people, who will listen to my plea
For my suffering's not their own, no need to drag them down with me
Their words pass through my ears, and die somewhere along the way
They missed their goal, to save a soul, in depression I will stay
To fake a smile, is to live a lie
If this is true, then I long to die.

Not until you open your eyes, will you begin to see the sun arise
But some like mine are red and sore, such eyes the sun would never bore
Our time has fallen off, now the hour is drawing near
I can make out my reflection, in the face of a lover's tear
There's no need for goodbyes, no sense in bids farewell
Our voices cut off sharply by the sound of a warning bell
Till death do us part, or in time now we must heed
Back to whence we came from, we've lost the time to plea
Now I'm lying on her bed, crying in the pillow where she laid her head
To sleep a peaceful night, next to me
One last time, one last night
Who'll be left, to save my soul
My hands are numb, I'm growing cold
And on this day, of shattered grey
I kiss goodbye my life as a stain
I can't wait to be nothing
I'm almost already there.

I'm losing touch (My mind has died)
I'm lost inside (My rotting mind)
Bleed my veins (Gouge my eyes)
Pull me down (Past all my lies)
I've lied
I've died
A two pronged life (I've tried to hide)
Has been revealed (Is now alive)
Peace of mind (I've tried to keep)
To keep it strong (I must deceive)
I've tried and failed to ignore the pain
What started bad just ends the same
And all the work to stall the hurt
Comes crashing down on me
I'm sorry for the betrayal
For destroying your dwindling trust
But I needed to keep the world happy
To appease my sickening lust
If I could bring a single smile
Then I'll put the tears to rest
Yet you see me as nothing but vile
And my reasoning for love you suppress
I was fed up with who you are
So sick of my ties to your name
But still I promised that I'd be a shoulder
To cry on throughout your days
And it was never enough
never meeting your demands
I was fed up
But still sinking into the sand
I moved on
In halves, in parts, not whole
For at the center of my gaping heart
lies a bleeding, blackened hole
And then you found me
you tricked me again
I fell face first
I fell hard for you again
I tried to keep you happy, but you were one of many
Still you saw nothing, so now I'm here
Tell me I've wronged
I never wanted this
To become the monster I loathed to be
I swore against him on my life
That creature would never be me
But now I've broken what once I held dear
And shunned myself into shame
I've taken hold of the hand of misfortune
He led me blindly through the rain
Why do you plague my mind?
Why does your voice infest my bones?
Now you see that you got your revenge
I am cold, defeated and alone
I thought things could last forever
What more childish thoughts could I perceive?
Now I see that we could never
fall back asleep, together, in our dream.
