Masked feelings.

Can you hear the cry of the boy?

Who they try to destroy?

He feels like a king,

Kicked out from his throne,

They broke his wings,

Left him all alone,

They burnt-out his candle,

And dampened his hopes,

Gave him obstacles to handle,

Sealed his dreams in envelopes,

He said that didn't hurt him,

Though in his tears he swims,

His eyes are dark and dim,

"In this battle no one wins,"

He found the courage to carry on,

With a help from a friend,

Cry till the break of dawn,

But this won't be the end,

Can you hear the cry of the girl,

Who they try to destroy?

Trapped in her mind like prison,

Memories she hasn't forgotten,

Haunt her like a dangerous villain,

Mistakes were never forgiven,

Running in a circle,

Crying in her bed,

Words which were hurtful,

Now consume her head,

When she feels like she's on the edge,

She sits on her bed,

The lies she pledged,

Feeling hopeless, full of dread,

Can you hear the cries,

Of the ones they try to destroy?

Shouting out their cries,

Feeling heartless and broken,

They hurt them with lies,

Their happiness is stolen,

If only someone could see,

Past their fake smiles,

"Someone to love me for me",

"Someone to look past all the lies,"

Maybe there was someone,

Who understood their pain,

Maybe there was a sun,

Underneath all the rain,

Maybe there was a lining,

On ever grey cloud,

Maybe underneath the rocks,

There is pure, clean gold,

Just maybe....
