Sitting up at night looking deep into my soul
Pacing back and forth over stepping stones so cold
Filled with anger yet stunned by pain
So many irritable words that flood a single day

Listing to the same soothing notes that use to keep me from falling apart
Just doesn't seem to help the hatred that has built up in my heart
Everything that was solid is gradually disappearing in my world
Everything I've worked for is slowly tearing down my cemented road

A path once full of pleasure now ending in disgust
I never knew I would be swimming in so much mistrust
How did my plans just rout away
I really thought I found the easier way

Sinking into the ocean I watch another wasted sun set
Among the raging waters it has so much time to rest
Wishing to be apart of the happiness I sit in his shadow
Seeing the truth of the flaws they will never know

Tiered I lay my head down with the tears of envy
I try so hard not to let anyone see the fury deep inside me
Forever I'll stay in my shadow of lies
No one will ever see the burning fires of my everlasting cries

<Sick Of It All>
