I remember now why I'm afraid of my smile
Why I used to run from the dark
Why I stamped out my spark
I had felt dead for years and didn't know why
Searching through tampered memories that had been blurred and deleted
Wondering why I felt so defeated
I felt so fake, artificial
As if I let the people around me sculpt my personality
As if I hadn't an ounce of clarity
I never would have found myself if not for the triggering words of hurt
Only the stabbing betrayal from a word knife
Only that one thing could bring me back to life
I got my wish and started feeling again
But I forgot how dark my true sole really is
But I forgot how much locked up emotion that there is
I regained the feeling of how frail this body is in comparison
How it doesn't quite fit
How my mind is to big for it
I regained myself, but at a price
Now one day I'll have to hold the knife
Now one day I'll be forced to end a life
