You Can Fool the Whole World, But Your Eyes, They Never Lie To Me

these feelings
they make me feel distant from all that I am
I don't want love, I just want to care
These feelings, I wish they could be gone forever
I wish I could just get myself back together
As I lie there, falling down,
I ask myself
Can I ever even care?
As I'm breaking apart,
I ask myself 
Do I even care?
I haven't a clue where I am,
Where I should be.
All I know is that it isn't here.
They'll only look for me when I'm gone 
But I get it, I get it
Just another sad soul that they pretend to care about 
why is he only missed when he is gone?
another man with nothing left to gain
Nothing more than a product of all his pain 
Maybe he's just crazy 
Tripping over something on the daily
Drifting in and out of time 
Tossing and turning 
This must be hell
Tripping over his own feet
Falling deeper 
Drifting further away
No one reaches out towards his shaky hands
They don't wanna deal with it
But it's okay
Cause I don't think I wanna deal with it
In my own grave I think I'll stay 
But don't be so scared 
Of the depths of my hell
Loneliness, it fits me all too well 
Melting into her arms, I know I cannot escape
Now I'm face down
Face down again
It's been so long
Since I've ever even cared 
Face down until the end
I don't think I'll ever even care.
