Expose me for all that I am The man behind the masquerade I am my own false witness Fact resides solely in the depths of my mind
And will I ever really let it come to surface? You only see what I want you to see And you believe all that you’re told Serenity is a beautiful hoax, a liar
I have the whole world convinced of my contentment No truth in this I’ve lost count of all the times I made it home alive And wished I hadn’t
Expose me for all that I am The man behind the masquerade I am my own false witness I’m left to conquer the mountains in my mind
And I am my maker Life is what’s killing me I hate the fact that I’m just fine Forever seeking anything to take responsibility
Life is what’s killing me I hate the fact that I’m alive Forever searching for my scapegoat Because I refuse to face reality
At least I can say I tried to cherish every single day When I woke up and didn’t want to die I’d work my hands down to the bone Trying to stay suspended in those specific seconds
But I know I’d just be counting down the minutes until I’m miserable again
