I've gotta find that light

I've gotta stay real happy

I don't need to pretend

I just don't want to be snappy

I think of the good

I keep blocking out the bad

I'm ignoring that darkness

I'm actually really glad-

Lies

I'm lying to myself

Call me Deceit,

My happiness, 

Smaller than all else

Locked away inside

The emotions be feels 

He tries to hide

Weakness, he was told

For letting emotions show

When surrounded by his friends

He tries to let them know

They don't seem to understand

What goes on in his head

He tries to let his emotions show

To let them flow through his words

He is sick and tired of his monotone

But they were buried too deep

And he doesn't know where to start

Buried far below his mask

"What's real?", Is all he'll ask
