Painting An Exit

Another lie that feels its self return
The building sigh that never seems to learn
Help me now is all that I ever say
It seems no matter what I do, I can never betray

The scars that plan my life before it’s here
The fear that hides in fear of what I’ll say
The hate resides and builds until I fall
Just save me now before I have to stall

Death is the only way for me
I am alone but it’s still not what I see
Beauty hides because it must be free
Fear collides, where the hell is she?

In my eyes I am just everything
In my world it’s all just nothing
In your eyes I can never be anything
In your world this would be everything

Death is the only way for me
I am alone but it’s still not what I see
We deny, but soon I will be free
Fear aside, just don’t let me breathe

Help me deny all that I hide
Be the coloured emptiness inside
The words that dance around my lies
It seems that I already died
