The Fight

So why did I look into the past?
Oh why would I inflict myself with that?
Can’t take away what I’ve already seen.
Keep scratching my eyes but
they know where I’ve been,
don’t want to feel anything, anymore.
Would you pinch my skin so I awake?
Would you care, would you give or
would you take?
I cover my face and I don’t let it show.
But I can’t erase what I already know
Want to go back
to where my heart was made of stone.
It’s a fight no one has ever won
We decide which path to call our own.
Thought I try, I don’t know the answer,
So. I keep my back against the wall.
With just a smile, you ripped the mask from my face.
So sinister, you never left a trace.
I tried to be quiet and not make a scene
but you took my words and changed the meaning
and the veil was lifted.
I guess it’s time to get myself on track
and face what’s ahead and not look back.
Ill try to be calm, and not open my mouth
I wear this smile without any doubt but…
But I know, I know…
