A candlelight before my eyes
I hear the shadows as they cry
No more lies, oh I've heard them all
I'm not dead, my hate's alive
But i'm tired of this life
Behind my painted smile there's nothing but despair
I try to hide in my dreams
Afraid of the world
Afraid of it all
Can you imagine my fear
When I awake and the darkness surrounds me
People turn away from me
They are the witnesses and see
That I'm a target of society
I see the writing on the wall
"Why did it all go wrong?"
Feel like I pick up all the fragments of my life
I try to hide in my dreams
Afraid of the world
Afraid of it all
Can you imagine my fear
When I awake and the darkness surrounds me
For all the world to see
A tragic comedy
The words have all been said live on TV
Can't believe my eyes
Confusion in my mind
See what the world has done to me
