My soul, burnt and tarred Shielded and scarred Acts as a wall for my emotions Just screaming to release themselves On the outside I form a smoke screen To hide my true self from friends Afraid of what they might see me as With this blackened soul, Filled with hatred for life, just wanting to die Crying-but you can�t see these crystallized tears Because they fade into my warm pink cheeks They don�t care and why should they bother? But when their desperate cries beckon me I�m there, by their side as they begin To drag me down to the fiery depths of Hell But I still try to stand tall for them, never failing Never faltering, even when my burdens attack me heavily And I tried to fly with these broken wings Only to realize I�ll fall to the ground again And you were supposed to be at the bottom Ready and willing to break my fall But your faith is faltering, your smile is fading And you were never there, and I fell too far As I�ve hit rock bottom and you�re still flying Wondering if I�ll be there to break your fall And I will-I�ll always be there No matter how many times you let me down And these tears I cried meant nothing to you I�m tearing at flesh that will never heal Burnt and scarred, my soul is heavily drunken With bottles of emotions filling me with such sadness That it pains just to see you try to smile But yet you were always the stronger one You�ll never give up like I did, you�ll never fall
