When life is running towards me,
And I’m carrying my heart on my sleeve.
When I close my eyes with weary,
And everyone is just getting too hard to please.
I try to smile everyday,
And I try to make it true.
And when everyone is looking at me in disgust,
I try to think of you.
When harsh words bring me down,
And a kind word makes me cry.
I remember that everyone, even you,
Has a softer side.
Sometimes my blacks and whites blend together,
And I’ve never felt more blessed
To have opinions through my shackles;
To feel the pain and faithlessness.
My heart has scars that are all too visible,
And its rhythm hasn’t always been offbeat.
I wasn’t this jaded before,
I was content and flying free.
The tomorrows are turning into yesterdays,
And daylight is my time to sleep.
The night gives so much comfort,
This bargain for my innocence has become worthless and cheap.
Defiance, I have enough of,
And it’s always you that I deceive.
You think that I will sit here?
Your intentions will leave you in regretful grief.
The cruelest of objectives
Make humanity fade away.
And the crimson tears contort your mind,
You’re left with not a thing to say.
