Fake

Sometimes I feel mad
MAD that I'm alone
MAD that no one wants
To spend time with me
MAD that everyone is fake

But in reality, I'm sad
SAD that I'm alone
SAD that no one wants
To spend time with me
SAD that everyone is fake

And I tell myself
That it's okay to be sad
But I hide it
And pretend I'm okay
Because no one wants to know

And I feel so empty
Empty when I sing
Joyeous words
Empty when I laugh
And talk to anyone

And I have on a mask
If it cracks
I fill it back in
Until it suffocates me
It drowns me

And

I

Can't

Breathe

And you tell me I'm real
I show the real me
But the real me is
Wearing a mask as fake as you

And if that mask is so real
What does that make you?
