Let Go

A long list of names with not a friend among them Is it just of book of hidden faces Forgotten faces? Not a single word I've ever said was written with truth And here's the proof When there's tears streaming down my face Stuck in place Is a smile that is a lie When every time I look around I want to die No friendly faces, in the brightest of places And I can't make a sound Is this life or is it just a dark hell How is one to live without living Feeling lonely Lost in a sea of sound The darkness inside me Is seeping through my heart and making me lose my self control Turn the shower up higher so they don't hear me cry It's all I can do, just living a lie The friends I thought I had left when I was reaching my lowest Now as I sink below the surface The sun is the dimmest of lights Scratching at my sides Not ready to go back to the blade So long gone, I've reached the breaking point but I'm afraid to let go
