It starts off as a wave
Drowning everything and everyone
I'll be on my way to someplace and all of a sudden I'll just feel empty
I don't wanna think about anything else
I just want for it all to end
The silence is deafening
I would lie awake at night asking myself questions
Distractions can keep a person sane but not for so long
Sooner or later, the shadow catches up with you.
Sometimes, I feel so tired and sick
I just wanna lie down and do nothing
I don't even know why I bother
I'm disenchanted with the world
I'm sick of conforming to everything
My life is a sad song and nobody ever bothers to listen
Shattered and incomplete, everyday is just a replay of yesterday
It devours you piece by piece
Until all that's left is a pale reflection of who you were
The scars that hurt the most are the ones within
It leaves you distorted and unwanted
I wear a mask of happiness and conformity
Just so I'd feel I belong
Despite knowing that I am lonely and lost inside
I've been to many funerals and wished that the next one would be mine
