i guess we're all cowards
too scared to face life
too ashamed to face its dark corners
we have a glimpse, go insane
touch our lips, ignore the shame
get inside, the world goes black and white
i can't get out, did i even try?
i became a slave to the shame
i try to fight, but to no avail
i became the shadows, became the pain
i try again, but i was already insane
engulf myself in a world of bruise and tears
i hold it in, that was the worst
i want to go outside
to watch the stars
but i can't
i see a glimpse of hope
a far away sin
i tried to grab it
but i wasn't close enough.
but did i?
