[Verse 1] I wear my best smile, The safest place to hide, Let's play pretend for a while, ...Just a little while, So no one will hear the sound of my silent cries. [Pre-chorus] I pick the mask, The one you'd like to see, One to make you laugh, One that would make you love me. [Chorus] It means nothing to you, But profound to me, ...it's not that I choose... You won't understand, What consumes me, silently. [Verse 2] The sands of time fall not in my favor, This mind of mine is not my friend, Tip toeing on a razor's edge, While the red builds from within, Pulling me slowly, Into the decline, Closer now, into the deep end, I take the dive. [Pre-chorus] This fall I take, Spared no grace, De-faced in my deprivation, Like digging a grave, Sinking... Into a darkness, A desolation, That has no interest in meeting me half way. [Chorus] Perhaps It means nothing to you, But it's profound to me, ...it's not that I choose... You won't understand, What consumes me, silently. [Bridge] Breathe... Look forward to tomorrow, Just breathe... It will be better... I will be better... Tomorrow will always be better. Breathe... [Chorus] It means nothing to you, But everything to me, ...it's not that I choose... You'll never understand, What consumes me, silently.
