With nothing left to care for,
My heart is frozen, torn to pieces,
I'll cry you a river with a crimson tinge,
And I'll stand aside as you walk on by.
I can't muster the courage any more,
Inside it’s just an emotionless pit,
Tears will stream down my face,
I won't feel the touch of it now.
With my eyes closed, shut tight,
I'm screaming silently in my head.
I'm wondering if you can still hear it,
Even when I'm trying to conceal,
I can't seem to find the words,
I can't comprehend what went astray.
I wallow in my own selfish grief,
With silent pity I know the eyes will stare,
The thoughts haunt me no matter,
I can't escape all the noise.
With my eyes closed, shut tight,
I'm screaming silently in my head.
With the echoes of silence in my ears,
I turn the sound up loud in a final attempt,
Wondering if even that can drown it all,
But nothing is working for me now.
I'll still cry those rivers tainted red,
And I know they will be ignored,
Nothing seems to show on a porcelain mask,
Cracking on the inside, I'm dying from within.
With my eyes closed, shut tight,
I'm screaming silently in my head.
And I can find the answers to scream,
I'm running out of words, out of feelings,
On the inside it screams for attention,
And on the outside it's a mask of lies.
