Fake and forget

by Ripple   Feb 19, 2006


Now the pressure builds as i sign on the net
Pretending everything is okay
When it really isn't

You ask me if I'm fine
I answer back yes
When i actually drown my sorrows in a bottle of wine

I cant handle the taste when I'm out with others
I feel so fake
Like I'm someone under cover

When they stop me in the halls and ask me if I'm alright
I turn around say I'm fine
Well i am until it gets to night

The moon is my only comfort... shining down on me
But sometimes the clouds close in
And i can barely see

When the rain is falling...I'm barely there
Because all the crimson chain is dancing
And no one seems to care

This is the ultimate test... to talk to people i know
And fake my whole life
As if to put on a theatrical show

Pretend everything is just fine
Its like no one is home
Just to have myself back.. and forget the rough times
