Just then when things are right
Darkness fades away, all things clear in sight
But when things start to falter
You can't help but fall into mad laughter

Things in your head
Like needle and thread
It pierces your heart;
And tears you apart

Tears stream down like the water in rivers
The cold in your heart makes you shutter and shiver
The weight on your shoulders
And the weight on your chest makes you lose your composure

Everyone you love
Everyone you shoved
Everything you hate
All the feelings you gave

You'll lose your mind
They'll leave you behind
And someday you'll wonder;
"Why hadn't you stayed longer?"
