There's poison running through these veins Each heartbeat echoes waves of pain They praise the smile I've learned to fake While pieces of me slowly break Carved myself out long ago Left a shell, that's all they know And I'm drowning in broad daylight Gasping but I've lost the fight I'm the shadow in their sunlight Wearing skin that doesn't fit Screaming through these silent nights Till my throat bleeds words unspoken Take these eyes that cannot cry Take this heart that's frozen numb In this world I occupy I'm coming undone Mirror shows a stranger's face Someone time cannot erase Clawing at these prison walls While my reflection slowly falls Dancing with these razor thoughts In this game I never sought And I'm burning but they can't see These flames consuming all of me I'm the shadow in their sunlight Wearing skin that doesn't fit Screaming through these silent nights Till my throat bleeds words unspoken Take these eyes that cannot cry Take this heart that's frozen numb In this world I occupy I'm coming undone (Raw, intense whispers) Can you hear my bones crack? As I fold myself back Into shapes that aren't mine Just to make it all fine Watch me splinter and break Feel my soul start to shake I'm not here anymore I'm not here... (Broken whisper) There's nothing left to save... I've already faded away...
