I look away from their eyes
Just smile and I might pull through
But inside, a mournful voice cries
No, that’s not true
Don’t even ask me why I cry
I don’t cry, I don’t weep
Those tears have long gone dry
I want to be able to cry myself to sleep
Yet compared to your woes
Mine seem so trivial, so hollow
Still it drives a stake through my soul
I have no real reason to sorrow
Why do I bleed then?
Why do I feel the need to lie?
Why do I lose myself to them?
Why do I feel the need to lie?
I look away from your eyes
Just smile and I might just survive
But all I seem to see are grey skies
Into the abyss of emptiness I dived
Don’t even ask me why I seethe
To repent and seek redemption for me
Under your gaze, I can’t even breathe
Cuz I know I can’t be free
Yet compared to your woes
Mine seem so trivial, so very pointless
Still it drives a stake through my soul
I have no real reason to be cheerless
Why do I bleed then?
Why do I need to force myself?
Why do I lose myself to them?
Why do I need to force myself?
I don’t even know why anymore
I should be happy, right?
Smile and walk through that open door
Forget the darkness and into the light
But…I can’t. I just can’t do it
Why can’t I just be content and live?
Steady and sure as my heartbeat
I continue to lie and deceive
Yet compared to your woes
Mine seem so trivial, so hollow
Still it drives a stake through my soul
I have no real reason to sorrow
Why do I bleed then?
Why do I feel the need to lie?
Why do I lose myself to them?
Why do I feel the need to cry?
I can’t weep anymore
These tears have long gone dry
Tore off the wings on which I used to soar
No longer will I see the skies
Don’t even ask me why I seethe
To repent and seek redemption for me
Under your gaze, I can’t even breathe
Cuz I know I can’t be free
I look away from their eyes
Just smile and I might pull through
But inside, a mournful voice cries
No, that’s not true
Yet compared to your woes
Mine seem so trivial, so hollow
Still it drives a stake through my soul
I have no real reason to sorrow
Why do I bleed then?
Why do I feel the need to lie?
Why do I lose myself to them?
Why do I feel the need to cry?
Don’t even ask me why I seethe
To repent and seek redemption for me
Under your gaze, I can’t even breathe
Cuz I know I can’t be free
