Masked Decay

Staring out the window
My fingers on the glass

Staring out into darkness
Thinking of what it's like

Sometimes I think it's just a game
Sometimes I want to scream

They dont know I'm alive
Or that I have feelings
That i sit alone and cry.
Emotionless... they think I am
Because I wear this fake ass smile.

I go by every day, fooling them
They never see what's truly me
Just see that face, I carry with me
Living a lie, cant see me cry

I'll hide it away
Put my feelings in a box
Polish my mask, make them laugh.
Maybe then I'll feel better

It's always the same
It never changes
If I was to let them know
That I am dying inside

They would not beleive
These feelings that I hide
