Scream, Cry, Thrash around,

Bite the rope in two

Pull, Twist, Rattle,

Snap the chain in two



But, wait. You can't.

Yes, you're not allowed to

Yes, you only can

break yourself in two


Smile, make sure it feels genuine,

Those eyes, let them gleam

in the new sun's light

Laugh, it'll keep her shadow away,

But don't let the rage be seen


There's a way, a fragile hope

Pretend to be in one piece

There's a way, a fragile hope

Hold onto that dying ember,

Maybe it'll burn brighter one day.
