Erosion

(If reality is cruel then a lie is kindness
And so kindness itself is a lie
I'd always hold expectations and I'd always misunderstand
But some point I just stopped hoping)

Hey
I don't really
What to do now
I've kept to myself
For some months now
Bottled up
Every feeling
Hoping they won't leak out
It's funny how
Kindness turns to rage
When there's nothing left
And I'm tired of this way
Lived my life all with dismay
Man I just can't get away
From this
I've had on my facade
Its been up since early dawn
Now I'm hoping I dont lash out
On you

Face facing forward
I don't mean to ignore you
I been lookin for a reason
Just to stay here some more and
Now I'm caught up in a war
In which both sides are destroying
My inner self is crumbling
Now quietly I'm suffering
Face facing forward
I don't mean to ignore you
I been lookin for a reason
Just to stay here some more and
Now I'm caught up in a war
In which both sides are destroying
My inner self is crumbling
Now quietly I'm suffering

Yes I'm exploding
With this thought
I suffer from within
My smile has
Kept it all in
Feelings of tragedy
Here again
Now I'm losing it
Blacked out
Once more
I can't trust myself now
Rage induced
Hollow world
My heads now
Drying out
Patience running low
Yes we've been here before
Losing myself to the toll
Of my mental at war

Face facing forward
I don't mean to ignore you
I been lookin for a reason
Just to stay here some more and
Now I'm caught up in a war
In which both sides are destroying
My inner self is crumbling
Now quietly I'm suffering
Face facing forward
I don't mean to ignore you
I been lookin for a reason
Just to stay here some more and
Now I'm caught up in a war
In which both sides are destroying
My inner self is crumbling
Now quietly I'm suffering

Face facing forward
I don't mean to ignore you
I been lookin for a reason
Just to stay here some more and
Now I'm caught up in a war
In which both sides are destroying
My inner self is crumbling
Now quietly I'm suffering
Face facing forward
I don't mean to ignore you
I been lookin for a reason
Just to stay here some more and
Now I'm caught up in a war
In which both sides are destroying
My inner self is crumbling
Now quietly I'm suffering

(The longer you live the more you realize
That the only things that truly exist in this reality
Are merely pain, suffering, and futility)
