[Cheerful Instrumental opening] [Happy Guitar riff buildup] [Verse1] On the surface everything seems normal. Interactions with strangers are so formal. I play my part in society. No one knows what's inside of me. [Cheerful Guitar Riff Buildup] [Pre Chorus] I try to see in the mirror, always blurry never clear. My dark thoughts tarnish all I hold dear. [Chorus] Outside the sun is shining bright. Above me birds sing in flight. From the outside everything looks perfect. Can't help feeling I'm some sort of defect. [Verse2] I wanna break this mind I own, it never lets me breathe. There's no escape, I can never leave. Always asking what's wrong with me? Why can't the sadness just let me be. [Break - Cheerful Guitar Riff Buildup] [Pre Chorus] I try to see in the mirror, always blurry never clear. My dark thoughts tarnish all I hold dear. [Chorus] Outside the sun is shining bright. Above me birds sing in flight. From the outside everything looks perfect. Can't help feeling I'm some sort of defect. [Cheerful Guitar Riff Buildup] [Verse3] Sleep is my only escape from the fear that I give chase. Not sure how much longer I can keep this pace. I smile to mask the voices whispering in my mind. Wish they'd move on and leave me behind. [Verse4] Not my choice, not my voice, as I tiptoe to the edge of that void. All the good in life it needs to destroy? The whispers as I call them, those sweet true little lies. Whispering promises of a peaceful demise. [Bridge] All the pills I am forced to take Do nothing but keep me awake My only semblence of peace is sleep Where silence is the promise I keep [Chorus] Outside the sun is shining bright. Above me birds sing in flight. From the outside everything looks perfect. Can't help feeling I'm some sort of defect. [Fade Out] [End]
