So many times have I tried

to escape from the depths of my mind.

Holding back ...live in fear

...meaning slips away in tears,

while I try to be what you need.

...live in shame because I’m not me.

All of this runs so deep,

...and for that this life I keep.

I know you see the end, ...you pretend.

I know you, so the end you pretend to decide it’s right.

I know you see the end, ...you pretend.

I know you see the end.

You pretend these lies pass time.

Falling away as the time slowly fades with me inside.

I can’t think, I can’t find any reason why I lie,

straight to your face.

...empty eyes,

...your emptiness has become mine.

Walk away from this pain

a victim of my own fucked up ways.

...the process of my fucked up ways.

...I must decide, deny my pride.
