Smiles painted across familiar faces,
Hiding all the things they've done...

Don't pretend to know me,
Don't pretend to care...

My dreams consist of nightmares,
Things I shouldn't see...

Watch this heart shatter,
The broken pieces scatter...

Fairytales and daydreams,
Just illusions before my eyes...

I'm trying to hold it together,
Letting the cold numb flood my veins...

Line after line, scrawled across the page in blue...
Words bleeding onto paper, describing a life...

Scream for change,
Open up your mouth and speak...

Reach out and take my hand,
Take it and hold it tight...

The heart grows heavy,
With tears I'm holding back...

Smile like you mean it,
Pretend to care once more...

Pretend I'm not slipping,
I don't know my warning signs...
