While the world is dreaming
I feel like screaming
I lie awake 
About to break

The world isn't fair
No one seems to care 
As i try to hide
Theres nothing left to find

A veil is all i ask for
And theres nothing more
Secret tears i must cry
For in my dreams i may die

People try to see inside
But there is only one thing they will find
A heart as black as coal
And not  of gold
