Oh did I wake up again?
From the horrible dream that haunts my fate
Every day I strive, every day a step closer to perfection
But little did I know there was no gratification
To the pursuit of excellence,
To the never dying hunger of success
All I ever wanted was your acknowledgement
However, the void still remains
While I achieve everything, the name, the glorified fame
Its been ages dealing with the demons, trapping me in their embrace
Every state of manic lingering inside my head
Everybody saw me falling from the grace
How I was chained to the delusion of contentment
Surrounded by the pretend of everything was in place
One day everything turned to smoke
When the veil fell down which used to hide the horrors of truth
Every gaze you shed on me tore me a little more
All I ever wished was for you to see my through
Through the sparkles of triumph, through the tears of hurt
That little child was still crying for her broken thoughts
