numb, numb
empty feelings
don't know who i'm kidding
never gonna be okay
everything i feel is so temporary
why would i think it isn't?

melting, melting
falling apart in front of everyone
hoping they think i'll be okay
why shouldn't i be?
tears are weakness
i shed them in private

keep it all in
no one wants to see me like that
gotta keep trying
even when i have nothing left to give
gotta keep going
even when energy is a stranger

when did i get in this hole?
doesn't matter now
i can finally lie down for a while
i can finally be at rest
nothing matters now.

not now.

not anymore.
