You never know how strong you are
Until being strong is your only choice
When you finally break
And your world becomes dull
When you finally snap
And your senses are numbed
Your only choice is to be strong
Or you'll fall into oblivion
You'll fall into Hell.
Sometimes you can't tell anyone how you feel
Not because you don't trust them
Not because you're scared
But because you don't have the words
To describe this feeling
This wonderfully terrible feeling
And this is where you could fall
In a place without time and space
You could fall into oblivion
You could fall into Hell
When nothing seems right
And you feel like giving up
You try to take a step back
To see life from a different perspective
From a different point of view
But it's hard when your vision is cloudy
It's hard when your glasses are foggy
You try to fight through it all
But you are desperate to give up
To fall into oblivion
To fall into Hell.
Even though falling is easy
Even though it would be a relief
You still keep fighting
To see another day
So you lift your head up
And stand up straight
You plaster on a smile
And lie through your teeth
You know if you stop now
You know if you give up
You'll fall into oblivion
You'll fall into Hell
Soon you start to believe
Your own facade
Your own lies
The smile you faked
Becomes real
A fire in your eyes ignites
Your world becomes vivid
Your senses become lucid
You no longer feel like falling
Into oblivion
Into Hell
You start to feel like flying
Like soaring high in a cloud
You WANT to sing
You WANT to dance
So you enjoy every moment
You don't take anything for granted
You find happiness in little things
Like a favorite song
Like a favorite shirt
You will never fall into oblivion
You will never fall into Hell.
