I'm nobody's shadow,
You know it's true.
Nobody cares about a shadow,
None of you do.
Nobody even knows.
Nobody even cares.
I don't suppose
You even realize I'm there.
I'm nobody
I guess so are you.
Nobody cares about nobody
None of us do.
It's the worst feeling you've ever known,
The feeling when you're all alone…
When all you remember is hate, fear and pain,
And faster than you could imagine you're going insane.
You try to scream, you try to shout,
But there's no one there to help you out.
They've left you there without a chance.
They walked away without a glance.
And you sit there so lonely,
The one…and the only.
You weep, you wail and you cry,
Waiting, ever waiting for the day that you die.
The tears will fall. The pain will come.
There's only one way for this torment to be done.
You close your eyes, you try to dream,
But you're awakened by your own scream.
I wish I had saved,
All the tears.
You Made. Me. Cry.
So you could taste,
The misery.
You Told. Me. Lies.
I wish you could drown,
Beneath the pain.
You Gave. Me. Tears.
I wish you could suffer
Through all you put me through.
You Brought. Me. Fears.
I wish you could,
Feel the hatred.
You Showed. Me. Fire.
I wish you could see,
Me crying over here.
You Lost. Me. Desire.
I'll find you.
Hunt you down.
Don't try to Hide.
'Cause it's just
You. Me.
And Insanity.
I built myself a wall of paper
Around my inner core.
But the littlest touch knocked it down
Now it's not even there anymore.
I built myself a cage of plastic
Around this fragile shell.
But everything went tumbling,
Now lost in my own hell.
I built myself a fort of cardboard
To protect my tortured mind.
But all the taunts still hit their mark
For it was all too easy to find.
I built myself a safe of steel
To hide the real true me.
I guess that's the only thing
That no one will ever see…
I've been told I have a joyful soul.
Yes, my joyful soul of:
Shattered Plates and screams
"I don't fucking care!"
Tears that fall like glass shards
Breaking through my fragile shell
The last protection
My last hope crumbling
I've lost all sanity,
All sense of reality
Hidden behind
Happy, lying eyes.
Perfectionism is laughed at,
But expected.
I think I've lost myself,
A long time ago in this fucked up madness.
A snapshot of my perfect existence:
Confusion and Tears and Pain.
A joyful soul indeed.
Have you ever felt so lost?
As the rain pounds against the ceiling.
As everyone around you seems to forget
Everything you stood for.
Everything that you'd ever do.
Everything seems too empty.
Everything seems too alone.
I know you see me crying.
Bloody tears of my existence.
Craving contact. Craving friendship. Craving love. Craving you.
So why do you let me fall? Crash? Burn? Die?
Why?
Rip my heart open.
Let all my wounds bleed.
Who are you joking?
I can't even breathe.
All of the tears,
Just let me free.
Trapped within fear.
Why don't you see?
You're killing me slow.
Every cut is too real.
Please let me go,
You know how I feel.
Let all my wounds open.
Rip my heart to a shred.
Who cares if I breathe?
I'm already dead.
Rip my heart open.
Let all my wounds bleed.
Who are you joking?
I can't even breathe.
All of the tears,
Just let me free.
Trapped within fear.
Why don't you see?
You're killing me slow.
Every cut is too real.
Please let me go,
You know how I feel.
Let all my wounds open.
Rip my heart to a shred.
Who cares if I breathe?
I'm already dead.

The sun warms my face
My troubles forgotten
I think of you
The true warmth
The true romance
The rains fall softly
Wash away the tears
Your memory still there
I cried for you
The wind swept you away
I see the trees
Long standing and proud
I remember your strength
Your love for me
Where has it gone?
The flowers bloom
Their beauty everywhere
Nothing compares to your face
That is the true spring
My life is in winter
All I think about is you
Your face
Your hair
Your love
The wind swept you away
The sunshine warms my face
My heart remains cold
All I hear is your voice
I call your name
But you never come
