Yours Truly

"The Art of My Pain"

You can be my secret
Unknown like I'm having an episode
That is where we'll leave it
Just don't leave me alone
You can break my heart anytime
Ignore the truth
I'll tell you the lies
Sweaty hands
Grip onto what's left of hope
As sadness makes itself at home
I don't trust myself
With sharp objects
Some things are hard to accept
Forced smiles
Are just for awhile
Until the medication kicks in
Ask me where I've been
I'm an emotionless wreck
Trying to make it at best
This is getting out of hand
I don't know where I stand
I'm the writer behind the pen
Then you'll know where I've been
I'm forgetting all my memories
Losing all my energy
Another tear comes along
As I finally understand the song
Headaches make up for not feeling anything
Replace the crushed dreams
I've got these voices in my head
That tell me where to go next
And as I'm waiting for an answer
I'm seeing the shadows
That try to hide
Maybe I can search in the dark
As I lay awake at night
