Before I sit down before you
And tell you everything about me
I need to know if you can handle
The things I know and the creatures I see
Can you even begin to imagine
The world I constantly share
With demons inside my heart
Telling me my life will never be fair
Do you think that you can see
The bounding of my heart
To the deepest caverns of my soul
And the darkness tearing me apart
Can you see the wonder and imagination
Deep within my being slowly begin to fade
As I sit here now before you
Can you tell my heart has decayed
I'm no longer careless and free
I'm a prisoner to the ones in my head
I'm no longer the one who's living
Instead I live among the dead
Everyone looks past the heartbrokenness
They look past the hurt, past the things they wish not to see
Everyone only sees the laughs and the smiles
No one pays attention to the tears, or the real me
I sat down before you and showed you the real me
I told you my problems, I told you my sorrows
Even through all of my troubles the truth still stands
When I need you most, you'll forget what I said by tomorrow.
