A Smile That Does Not Exist

Isolation
The world has kept the chosen ones free
Safe from storms that rain down on me
The coming winds of catastrophe
Face the beast or find no peace

Descend into madness (madness)
Shattering glass into fragments
Locked eyes watch me writhe across the floor
Pick up the pieces, come back for more

In the mirror, a blank stare
No one's there, no one cares
I pretend that we share
A smile that does not exist

My obsession
With the darkness in my reflection
I always see the worst in me
Breathe in, breathe out
Drown in self-doubt
It's always in your head
But it's only in your head

I'm oblivious of who I am (who I am)
All I've known is internally dismembered
An unconscious savior
Apathetic to a point, it's pathetic
The memories fade away (fade away)
Devouring brighter days

In the mirror, a blank stare
No one's there, no one cares
I pretend that we share
A smile that does not exist

My obsession
With the darkness in my reflection
I always see the worst in me
Breathe in, breathe out
Drown in self-doubt
It's always in your head
But it's only in your head

Defeatist
The damage is done, but it's back for more
Defeatist
Meet your defeat
You're nothing without me
Lay your demons to rest
It's only in your head

Breathe in, breathe out
It's always in your head
Breathe in, breathe out
But it's only in your head
Breathe in, breathe out
It's always in your head
Breathe in, breathe out
But it's only in your head
