Of It All

Disappearing under the weight of it all
For the hurt of it all
For the need of it all

Until I dont recognise myself amidst of it all
For the fear of it all
For the pain of it all

My smile hides the lies of it all
For the deceit of it all
For the despair of it all

Until I ask why do I care at all
For the games of it all
For the pretence of it all

And then I realise that it is only on the face of it all
That anybody cares at all
For we at all
For me at all
For me.
At all.

So I cry for the loss of it all
For the love of it all
For the life of it all

For the love
For the life
Of it all.
