Im living on the outside
I dying on the inside
Trying to catch my breath
It seems such an impossible task
Driven by the fear of dying
Not living for the fear of death
Just trying to catch my breath
We talk
Not for my satisfaction but for yours.
Meaningless words and simple phrases
All for the hope that a story will begin.
All for the hope that our lives will begin.
We talk about the weather
While hiding our meaning.
Cryptic messages in the words of a friend.
Cant say what we mean
Cant say what we feel.
Its to bold to daring
We cant see thats we need
Cant see thats what the world needs
People unafraid
Say what it is
NO!
People will get offended
Who cares!
The world is offensive
Lets take the child lock of our speech and off the world
Show what it is so we can show who we are
Let the growing begin
Expand your simple mind
Get the fuck out of your world and into another
Learn! For gods sake!
Live! Christ’s sake!
Stop being held back by your so called freedom
Stop letting people tell you what is free and be FREE!
Just for you
No one else
Live for you
No one else
Learn for you
No one else
Its all for you
No one else
Almost every smile that I make
Is a smile that I fake
When will my heart awake
From death
I never really feel alive
Why cant I feel alive
I just want something to breathe for
To see for
To heal for
To reach for
Why cant I just be one or the other
Instead of one with the other
Dead through and through
Or living, clear and true
Why does my heart have to die
My soul wants to fly
My mind keeps going back
To my past
It should have been my last
My body
Keeps going through the motions
Everyday living through the motions
No
Not living through the motions
Merely passing with the motions
Im blinded by the darkness in your soul
You blur the lines between care free and careless
No human thought
Only primal instinct
Stalk
Hunt
Feed
Chasing your prey
We’re nothing but animals to you
Vermin that must be extinguished from the world
You hunt and kill
We plan and rise
Victorious in the end
Unphased by your kinds of torture
We’ve dealt with your kind before
We know what to expect
You look so different
Face to face
But that is only skin deep
Underneath your all controlled by the same demon
The same monster trying to rise
You’re the ones to weak to fight it
Letting it consume you and take your mind
I loved you once
My dear friend
But if you must die
Then Ill be the one
To release you from the demons grasp
Set you free
Set your soul free
You may be gone
But Ill keep fighting
Because Im stronger then it
Because Im stronger then you
Strong
weak
Bold
shy
Brave
terrified
The mask
the truth
Take off the mask
Let the truth breathe
Let the truth see
Cant do that
Someone will see
Wear the mask
So no one will know
Only let a select few in
But never let them see the whole truth
To dangerous
To vulnerable
Some will get hurt
Not sure who
To many lies to let shown
To many secrets to let known
Don’t like that life
Put on another
Its simple just dont get to close to me
Or youll see through my smoke screen
Nothing through there but me
Just me
Don’t see me
Just me
Please
Don’t see me
The vines wrap themselves around my mind
Consuming and confusing
all that is mine
Cant think
Cant breathe
Cant feel
Anything inside
Hello, Hello
Is there anyone inside
No, just an empty shell
The shell of someone who was once alive
Who couldnt survive
The pain of home
The pain of lies
The pain of nothing inside
Cant survive
The empty lives
The empty lies
That no one buys
And still
They stand
They watch
They look
But they try not see
The pain of a broken child
Cant stand on her own
Silent begging
With no reply
She crys
Tears mixing with rain
The storm cloud
Its all thats left behind
Standing
Trying not to fall
Counting the time out loud
Growing
Still alone
Lost alone
Aging
Seeing what others dont
Trying to keep it inside
Trying to hide
Amongst the shadow in the dark
They look again but they still dont see
The lonely eyes
The hungery eyes
Looking for a sign of hope
A sign of freedom
But no hope
No gain from the search
No tears from the pain
No one sees
The pain turning to hate
Hate turning rage
They blame her
When its all to late
For her to be saved
She breaks
Cant see
Cant hear
Cant feel
Silnce
She breathes
Heart beats
But shes gone
Dead while still alive
Nothing left inside but torment
Of the fact
Shes alive but she couldnt survive
A pointless fight
Trying to win the losing game
Cant even cry anymore
All her tears gone
So she stands alone
In silent shadows
Watching as the world goes by
Watching as the world dies
Still counting the time
Until she can finally...
Rest
