For Tonight, Leave Me Be

I am trying to close away the way I feel tonight

Please don't ask me how I am for I do not know the words

I am empty and so tired of pretending to smile for those who are around

I am misunderstood so many times in what I say and do

Let me be who I am tonight

Let the void within eat me and let me pretend I am not close to tears

If they fall down I won't know why so please I beg of you don't try to understand

For the words in your eyes will mean nothing to me

Drowning in the waters of within my heart and soul

I try to break free from the mask I have to wear to live

I break apart set after set of shackles around my impure soul

This feeling of darkness and terror won't let me be

I've forgotten the feeling of the sun and how it can make me smile.

So let me be tonight for I want to be just me and forget

Forget what is it to smile to cry to feel anything

For then and only then I may finally remember how to sleep and dream
