A role to play,
Happiness I must display
For all to see
Then alone I fold away.
I cannot cry.
Raise my chin for I must lead,
Be strong for ye
For if I break their souls you take.
What will I be?
Or leave behind for when I die?
A mind so strong?
Or a wreck that kept his heart inside?
I'm not sad.
Nihilistic is how I feel.
This is now the norm;
My life inside a firestorm
Is this hell?
If it is how can I tell?
So just take me now
I'm tired of your fucking spell
Where will I go?
I never made a deal though I...
I want to know,
Why do they depend on me to glow?
For am I dim?
They shine better in the dark?
Or am I too bright?
And I lighten up their pathetic hearts?
Just go away.
Take them all and go away.
You never give,
You take all away that makes sense for me to live.
I will not pray
For in your hands, now I lay.
You puppet master!
Pull your strings and drag me through these darkest days.
