When I'm alone I put on a smile,
It's my form of a deceitful guile...

These lips seep a poison without a cure,
Eluding conversation as it sounds its voice...

Hey young one from down under,
Are you sane?, I wonder...

Take these words for what they are,
Let them cut you and create a new scar...

Why is misery smiling at me from far away?
Does he know something I'm failing to see...

Straight ahead is a light no one can see,
Far off in the distance where hope lies...

Wallowing in a sorrow that consists of lies,
Swallowing all of them - each one more tasty...

How many more tears will make you know,
That I've shed more than my fair share...

Shaking from the softest touch of wind,
Lying underneath a tree for protection...

Patiently I watch as my world is shattered,
Pieces falling from every recollected memory...

"If I was confused... would you make...
I ask her with words written in a letter...

How many inches is it until we cross the line?
One, two, maybe even three steps to take...
