I'll sleep with the lights on
If they think that I have fears
then they'll leave me alone
The truth is I only fear
what I don't believe in
and I believe wholeheartedly
that you'll be fine without me
I don't think I'm human
sometimes
and maligned malevolence
may make me smile
The truth is I just pretend
that I can feel
Like when they stab me in the back
that shit won't heal
So
What's burning in a heart
a soul stoked with coal
I can die right now
or wait until I'm old
The truth is I'm just a kid
without his imagination
I can't do anything
with these gifts I've been given
See why I can't trust my own mind
tested and dejected
rejecting the times
Days like these I sit here
suppressing a sigh
'cause when I dig my soles in the dirt
burying the signs
I'm burying my mind
burying my time
burying my sighs
burying my life
