Grimace
I face my daily demons from time and time again
I try to be normal and count to ten, ten, ten and then
I cope with hope’s happiness
It’s so dope to be no longer in distress
It was a dismal and dark night last night
There’s a delightful day, sparkling with might
Snowed under by sunshine today
Let me be, detested dismay and disarray
I grimace in the mirror and in pictures
To hide the sorrow
So, I pray for another tomorrow
Opening my eyes everyday to shine
Opening up to the lies that aren’t mine
I’m living a lie
Beneath the truth
I’m living a lie
Beneath the truth
So, today, I decide to grimace
Away my hopelessness...I’m helpless
I’m making so much progress none the less
I’m changing oh so sympathetically
I’m changing oh so rhythmically
I just want to be free
Can’t I unfold my wings and flee?
Why can’t I be happy?
I won’t fake a smile and heave a sigh
I don’t want to die...I will give it a try
To not underestimate you anymore
I hate to be hit to the core by forlorning and being a bore
Pour forth the pain from my eye’s glassiness
Disconnected by the wires in my brain’s mess
Lean on me some more and we will be miles behind the shame
I feel the vibes...I don’t want to take the blame...the blame...
My palms are quivering
I have been simply shivering
I walk away, for you can never see my grimace
Into the abyss and darkness, I roam in hopelessness...I’m a loner more or less...
