you've always hidden away the pain
it's second nature now, force of habit
you never act truly as you are
you keep everything bottled up inside

it's been going on for so long that you've forgotten how to feel
you've buried your emotions so deep inside that they seem to have vanished completely
you're in an ever-darkening descent down a black hole
and no one is here to catch you
