Sitting in your darkness In your little corner Painting your nails Just out of boredom Usually you'd be crying But why do that today Let's do that tomorrow For now you'll pretend that you're ok Not like it really matters, eh? I say as I walk by My outfit changes from day to day But always hides who I'm ashamed of What does it matter to her? You think with a raised brow And then you start to question Why I'm here and how. Did you ever see me Save for my fake facade Maybe now you see the person That I want to be. You aren't all alone in this I'll hold out my hand Knowing I ain't perfect And yes, I give a damn. I have battles, they do too And yet we shut the others out You can deny me, if you wish But I won't deny you. Sometimes I get angry When I lie in bed I think until I'm bawling With nowhere to go I'm sure you have been there too On the other side of the looking glass Not my time to save you, friend, Though heaven knows I want to. No, I'm stuck over here The blackened sands consuming me My demon beating me While you run from those that plague you I can see another sight Your vision blurring into mine As I'm punched upside the face I whisper, "Carry on." Yet why patronize myself That's dumb and from the past Guess it's time to grow up Cuz like this I can't last But something keeps me coming back Intriguing me for so long I s'pose it's the possibility Of finding something more. If I can't do that just yet I'll try to help you if I can Maybe there'll I'll find a friend What I really need. -I miss having a partner on the battlefield... if I ever had one. Shadow Mask
