So hide; hide from the reality we lie; decieving ourselves we smile; smile so heartily we cry; inside us is hell. A lie kills, the truth heals, You tell me jesus is here. Your eye fills, your heart feels, the emptiness he left; your fear. So where is he now, this hero of yours? Who died on the cross for salvation? So where is he now, this figment of yours... In this depth of hell, of starvation? Well the answer is there, but inside yourself.. No cross, no church, It's nowhere else.
Cold shadows gleam in your eyes The smirk on your lips is tainted with lies but still i am swimming in the doors to your soul in them, I am weightless, With no need to be whole, I cant let you go, Im forever too scared I must let you go, Ive been ruthlessly dared.
Will it ever be the same as it was that day when the sprinkled path of sunlight fought to pave the way reality is scattered i cannot find the line dividing what is shattered from solid, ticking time. The peices of my sanity, and eternity to find and as fate unfolds its mystery crazy, I cant mind. A certain spot to pinpoint so elusive through the hues Im lost in all this pigment Orange, Fushia, purples, blues.
Im waiting with bated breath I'm waiting To find it there. Its fading Slow heartbeat fading Behind my vacant stare There's time, my voice, a whisper, To grow, too slow, I learn... There's rhyme, no choice to listen, The beat, I feel it tear. Its switching Around, around its switching In this freezing cold night air. Im hissing Hissing at the monsters that shouldnt be there... Closing in alone Behind my vacant stare
Why is it that I feel so hopeless? So worthless? So unwanted? Why is it that after all this gasping, I still cannot breathe? Why is it that these tears, like pain, shoot through my veins? Why is it that you dont want me, dont love me like I do you? Why is that you hurt me, and make me want to hurt you?
I refuse to be someone I'm not. I refuse to live in a box. I refuse to keep my mouth shut, This prewritten life, I rebut. I wont be your puppet, I wont read from your script, I dont care if you dont like me, Im sick of this shit, I wont play pretend, I'd rather die than be fake, I wont make amends, I dont care, it's too late. It sickens me, how you just sit there... How you act, and you act, and you act. It sickens me, how you sit there, how you laugh, and you laugh, and you laugh, You claim you're unique and you claim that you care, Then you announce that "he's emo,""Because of his hair." You label, You judge, You adorn your disguise, 'n then you pass on a chain letter That promotes your demise. Well Im sick of your lies, and I purely despise, Your two-faced, makeup covered,"Im-cool" disguise. I wont play your game, and I wont be your illusion, Where you preach acceptance, and you whisper exclusion. I dont care if my shirt, screams nerd, goth or prep, So what? I'm a flirt, and I'm socially inpet. I care for my friends, and I love them no less, No matter how their hair looks, No matter how they dress.. So after a great deal of thinking, about shutting my mouth, about up-and-leaving, and flying away south, In hopes that you'll like me, If Im quiet and fake, Ive decided to speak, For all of our sakes. I wont shut my mouth, and I wont run away, I'm going to face this, Each and every day, Resisting your urging, For me to conform, I'll wait for your theories to Be ripped up and torn By their utter hypocracy, It seems only I can see, And I'll show you how great, being the authentic you can be.
Smile curves his soft lips How Mysteriously Dark Hard-Pounding heart--Hark.
Whisper in his eyes Reflects the ghostly moonlight showing me the truth
Crying heartfelt tears Pooling at my soaking feet Puddles show my face
The sakura sways hearts blowing with her branches Mine is tossed away
