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
