Linking Park
Take one step closer
across this new divide
lost in an echo
powerless by myself
invisible and pale
Pretend to be
A pretty birdy
seeing truth within the lie
in my remains
see skin to bone
empty spaces
pushing me away
She couldn't see
the part of me
that lies greed misery
Change
all for nothing
Papercut myself just to feel the numb
Offered her the keys to the kingdom
but nobody can save me
looking for an answer
that can't hurt me
Clarity so far away
I'l be gone before
the last line
