Memories and Tragedies seem to blend together
All the voices in my head never make it better
All the songs my demons sing
Slowly make me tired
But the fear of falling asleep always keeps me wired
For when I close my eyes for long
I can see her face
The girl who haunts my dreams at night
Who disappears without a trace
The girl who has my eyes
I feel them on me all the time
I can feel her staring
Waiting for me to fall
Waiting for the moment
When she can take it all
Take my joy and my love
Keep it all at bay
Put a deadbolt on my heart and steal my words away
But she’s the girl I hide inside
She’s the emotion I hide under smiles
The spite I hide under laughs
She’s the hate I hide under masks
The love that Breaks like glass
And the sadness that always seems to last.
