lock them away

those feelings soaring through your skin 

leave them where they are

stop trying to protect yourself 

you won't get very far

that little voice inside your head

the whisper in your heart

scream out loud leave me be

don't let them tear you apart

there's no point in having emotions

nobody cares what you feel

so shove them back where they came from

because none of them are real

stop stepping on your tiptoes

nobody cares how lightly you treed

no matter how hard you try to feel

you'll always hurt someone in the end

so pack up that caring piece of your soul

and send it as far away as you can

because whatever emotions you may feel

nobody else will care to stand

they'll drag your bleeding heart through dirt

and leave your lifeless soul

no matter whatever you do

the ability to feel will never make you whole

protect yourself from everyone else 

and lock your feelings away

because anything is better than feeling

the pain from your heart every day 

whether it's love or hate or even envy

stop what you're feeling throw it away

nobody will protect your heart

nobody else feels anyway
