I descend further into
The depths of sadness
As my soul crumbles piece by piece
And I fall into eternity
I've tricked people
Into thinking everything is perfect
Sometimes I wish I hadn't
Other times I'm glad I did
Looking into that mirror
I see something I don't want to see
The look of a lier
Clothes that scream get away from me
Eyes that hide a tormented heart
Yet standing there alone
In the darkness of the night
Stripped bare to the skin
I start to realise who I really am
A frail soul
Just a person hiding beneath fierceness
Searching for control
But at the same time loss of it
I'm someone who is weak in reality
As you can see by my upper leg
Exposed only to those
That I trust so greatly
Bleak look in my eyes
You finally see all my insecurities
The pain that I've tried to cure
That forever longing for perfection
I don't want this person as me
I want to be someone different
I want to be someone
Who doesn't need to hide

"I don't want this person as me
I want to be someone different
I want to be someone
