i fake like the rest of em
n lie with the best of em
this smile on my face
is only there to cover a darker place
i push through each day
to make you think its all ok
but on the inside i hurt to
i hurt like a lot of you

i fight for a cause in which i dont believe
though in the end there is no offer of relief
i wake up at five so i can face the day
though the sun hurt my eyes
i tell you "yeah im fine"
and i continue with my life

if thats what youd call it
i dont know who i am
only where ive been
i look inside
but all thats seen
is what ive become

im now just a shell
with nothing left
a vase with no flowers
a pallate with no paint
i no longer see in color
its all black and white.
but thats what you get
when you life is a lie.

always tell the truth
without it we are blind
never cheat
or youll never be proud
and never steal
cuz youll never understand what you have

these rules are by which i live my life
though i each day i do all three
because if ou knew
youd stay away
im afraid to be alone
but i push them away

so it with this life
that i must pay
for the thoughts in my head
and pain in my chest

i want to know me
i want to see in color
i want to be alive
i dont want to lie
