We live in a world where happiness is all that's visible
people dont want to accept the darkness in the world; its there
hiding behind the fake smiles, the fake laughter; the lies
they won't see the sadness or pain that swallows so many souls
living seems full of pain; a burden on broken shoulders
everyday dying seems easier
some ask why, some think they deserve it, deserve the pain
deserve to live in darkness completely alone wishing for death
but they keep all of this hidden behind a mask of woven lies
everyday fake lives are hidden; people are haunted
haunted by uncontrolable thoughts and emotions constantly pushing them
further into the darkness until death is all thats left
when that day comes, the pain ends forever and they are free
the light shines through and their souls are bright again
many are forced to create that day for themselves
they fix their broken shoulders; lift the burden with a gun or pills
they are called cowards; believed to be selfish or deserters
but really they show courage to put and end to their lies
they put and end to their dark lives and go to a better place
yet people still consider them selfish cowards who gave up
they gave up on this world because people in this world gave up on them
