I closed my eyes
And everything went quiet
Time stood still
And everything felt right

I was in a broken shell
Waiting for it to break
Nothing worked
Until I met this girl
She won't be today's subject
But forever will she stay in my heart

I opened my eyes
And the sounds came in violently
Time just went by
And everything was blurry

Upon discovering this new world
I wasn't feeling safe and sound
Even with my friends, sitting down
Through the sun, the wind and the cold
Unknown people, unknown sounds
Left out of place, I kept on staying

I kept my eyes open
As my hearing went numb
Through the days slowly going by
While everything gradually shattered

So many people around
But I'm still feeling lonely
No one to understand me
Through my fake smiles
And my silly attention seeking jokes
I am here, can't you see me? I feel invisible

My teary eyes still open
Blood gushing from my ears
The same story every damned day
I'm reaching my breaking point

People change, flowers die
Innocence lost in "fun" I've never felt
When people stop thinking, and live in lies
Where emotions are easily forgotten
Replaced by images and pretty fake people
The time has come for me to leave it all

I closed my eyes
And everything went quiet
Time stood still
And everything felt right
