Shatter

Food doesn't satisfy
I haven't slept in quite some time
My head is aching
I'm walking the tightrope line
Fake another smile now
That sinking feeling just won't fade
I'm feeling a bit dizzy but -
My dear I'll be okay

I've lost that sense of color
Teach me how to feel
This emptiness is spreading now
Please tell me it's not real

One step then another, dear
Just keep up the act
I'm alright I just need some air
You're not alone and that's a fact
Then tell me why I'm here

What's this illness I've conceived
The roses are all wilted
I just want to sleep forever
I think the word is "dead"
What a sickly thing this is
But I can't let it go
All this noise inside my head
How can I let you know?

My darling, I'm falling
Catch me before I splatter
One more time, say "I love you"
To pieces my bones will shatter
