I speak softly
But scream inwardly
I'm always laughing
While my heart's shattering
I'm just a tool
And people see me as a fool
I'm no more than a game
Pray tell, what is it I became
Little by little I die
Fear becomes I
I try to keep death at bay
But I'm already its prey
May one hear me in this town
Or my heart may just drown
I sense it will come to harm
A knife, a rope, may work like a charm
The walls are caving in
No more faith and hope within
I feel like I'm burning out
No one cares to reach out
I'm told to wait, to stay put
But I'm tired to be the puppet
I'm just a waste of space
At last, this I'm willing to embrace
People let me down in plain sight
Casual storyline I can't rewrite
No one really sees me anymore
I gave up trying to implore
None will hear these screams
Carried by the lost dreams
In the end I'm just the prey that's won
Over by all the worst of demons
