Problem/Answer

I stay awake to this fading dream Unable to sleep for dreams of her I avoid the truth within my head I burn the things that make me care I ignore it all away I’m happy, we’re happy We all seem very happy I walk this path without a choice Another head screwed person to up the cost Never sure if this is my real voice Acceptance is your only loss I tear this mask away Violence and Crying These things are always trying They’re tearing, they’re daring I throw them all away Ignorance and Lying These things are always blinding They’re staring, they’re blurring It’s just another day I search for truth I know it’s there I know deep down that it’s somewhere The lies are real we’re in a dream The irony comes when we’re redeemed I laugh you all away
