It's so hard to see past the fairytale kind of theme,
fake smiles in between a relationship so mean
the road leading me to yours,
keeping a heart distanced
standing still while being lighted on fire,
burning crisp black burns
suffocating it first before being buried underneath this earth
and the tar is melting with the pain
tumbling your mind until you felt insane
And the stars that glimmered so lovely,
wasn't real because all you could see was the hurting
falling
black
cold shackled like a slave
Following
lies
walking to your grave
smiling with the angels
fallen demons in disguise
A story so tender
making your eyes swell,
when your bitterness gets the best
of you,
making you feel confused,
biting your tongue on doubt,
makes you want to shout,
just to get away,
make you sleep your life away,
so you don't feel the pain

With no love

just not enough,
an apology that eats at you
because it's a just a muse

And like anger, its like love meeting a stranger
Just intruding your space,
a difficult reaction to take,
with that look on your face
because you thought you couldn't be loved,
thinking they couldn't even care
because your soul feels empty and bare

Left cold awake,
beaten black and blue
can you feel this?

can you feel this now?

can you care?

can you care for this now?

I'll care for you now.
can you feel this now?

can you feel this hurt now?
