Empty Shell

my heart is still beating so i know I am alive

but i am slowly losing the will to survive

i paste the smile firmly on my face

but watch closely for now and then it slips out of place

sometimes you see me laugh and you think i am doing fine

but i am owning it, this masquerade yes its all mine

but  i am not sleeping and dying more each day

pretending that i am doing okay

 

my tears they never stop flowing more often in silence now

i am keeping it together trying to be strong but i just don't know for how long

your often look at me and think  i haven't got a care

there she goes they say a storm with wild eyes and fiery red hair

but inside im just so broken depressed and all alone

i'm finding no comfort in making this my home

 

I want to the woman i once was but she is gone forever

defeated and lost

my scars they tell a story my spirit no longer runs free

what stands before you is a empty shell of who i use to be .
