Behind The Mask

Darkness the eternal glory
infuses my soul and gathers it creatures
Gone are the children of god
The birds live in fear
never to they sing their sweet lullaby

I live in fear
I'm afraid to live
I'm afraid to die
I'm afraid of so many things
but i keep them tucked inside

My mask never slips
my smile stays strong
i have the will to carry on
and to everyone i will be strong

I will stand up tall and never let anyone see me fall
I will be strong
and learn how to carry on
Only when i go into my room late at night
do i reveal my fear and fright
my wrists are red and bleeding
my mind and soul healing
yet my body is still here bleeding

Trapped in my darkened room
my darkened cell
my life is just a prison
my life is just a hell

Did you ever stop and wonder
why my eyes looked so distant
why they always looked so sad
did you ever stop to see what was underneath
did you ever stop and see what was really me?

Trapped in a wooden box
being lowered into the ground
no one made a sound
No one could of saved me
from what was inside of myself
i was dying from the inside out
Now I'm gone from this world
this prison
this cell
my life
my hell
