What lies beneath all the smiles?
What lies inside all the idle minds?
It's the brightest smiles that hold the darkest thoughts
Eyes filled with cold, lies revealed by the connected dots
It's the widest smiles that hold all the secrets
Once again I'm left here alone
I'm tired and I'm speechless
It's the silence that speaks the loudest
In their unheard screams
Repressed by the world inside their minds
That no one sees
Am I the shepherd
Or the sheep?
Am I just a promise you can not keep?
Day in day out, I have never felt so unsure
And all these souls so desperate to find a cure
Another mark in the flesh
Another memory smothered
Left with a fragile mess
We we're the iceberg, you we're the tip
After all this time I'm just another sinking ship
Am I the shepherd
Or the sheep?
Am I just a promise you can not keep?
Day in day out, I have never felt so unsure
And all these souls so desperate to find a cure
Am I breathing or am I dead?
I once praised you until my death
Just to feel your warmest of breath
I'm thinking this through inside my head
Just to feel your warmest of breath
Am I breathing or am I dead?
I still repeat the words you said
Relapsing the images you planted in my head
I tried and tried to make things right
Inside my mind the everlasting fight
Forever tying up these loose ends
You burned the bridges we built back then
Maybe it's the karma, it won't happen again
I'm waiting for the spark to light the flame within me
Please let me sleep for a bit longer
Just let me prove to you
I am stronger
