Disappearing


Hidden away from all the eyes, 

I seem to bleed alone.

Broken heart and troubled mind,

I seem to bleed alone.

No one really sees that,

I seem to bleed alone.

 

Tears on face and shacking hands,

I seem to scream alone.

Worried faces that I can't see,

I seem to scream alone.

Why do I always do this,

I seem to scream alone.

 

Screaming and bleeding,  I cannot see, 

all the good inside of me.

Surrounded by a faceless blur,  I cannot see,

all the good inside of me.

Straining to break the mold, I cannot see,

all the good inside of me.

 

Ceaseless notes and banging drums,

I seem to cry alone.

Saddend heart and heavy tread,

I seem to cry alone.

 

But then I see, a bit of me, 

that smiles right on back.

A glisten of the same old tears,

same pain in thee old back.

I know that I'm where I belong, 

right on back on home.
