lyrics

When I try to remember,
there’s only pain.
I’m stronger now, than I’ve ever been -
But still I feel helpless,
trapped by my own memories.

Trying to catch my breath from that day.
I never want to live it again.
If I could just let these things die.

I’m sure that I’d be happy.
I’m sure that Misery wouldn’t follow me.
Except here he is, always with me.
Breathing on my neck,
while whispering all of my fears.
And he doesn’t like sharing,
so I won’t be around.
I’m sorry that I can’t be there for you -
in more ways than one,
I’m still that scared little kid.
But I’ll wear this face I’ve found,
to hide the person I once was.

I’ll make a new self,
a self I can pretend to be.
Maybe someday, this face will be mine,
and I can leave that kid behind.

This mask has its secrets;
it yearns for hate and anger.
Now I’ve traded my fear for hate -
and I no longer feel afraid.

So I’ll stay by myself.
And let the cracks in the mask fade,
until this face becomes my own.
Until the hate outweighs my fear,
so I’m able to bury these memories so deep,
and wrap them so tightly,
that even I forget that they were there

But will I be able to care,
with a heart that’s full of hate.
At least I won’t be afraid -
and I can finally be free of that scared little kid.
I’ll finally be free.
I’ll finally be alright.
