Put it up to pull it down
Turn that smile into a frown...

As the gap between lips closes
And there's no one else that knows this...

Is life just a stage,
My actions just scripts on a page...

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the lonliest of them all...

Mommy's crying, head in hands
Says she doesn't understand...

Second choice and second best
Second place to all the rest...

This poem is for my little sister, to whom life...
Secret tears and secret dreams...

I'm breaking down, I'm cracking up
I'm making my way to the front...

Walking alone
On the railroad tracks...

Tomorrow turns into today
Reminding me that theres no change...

Hopes builds on the whisper of a chance at...
Sly wisps of secrets entwined and confess...

Silence surrounds, leaving you feeling empty
Quiet forgotten moments, hiding in your memory...
