No words spoken as I leave
What we were, so misconceived
A forced smile couldn't mask the shame
There's nowhere else to place the blame

So oppose what our mind conceals
Malnourished by these fake ideals
We share a beast we can't defeat
No prayers can render obsolete

But It's easier to fight
If we paint in black and white
And easier to hide
If no god is on our side

Holding you
I don't want to feel
Cross of self-denial
Crucified by the deal
It's easier to hide
It's easier to hide
It's easier to hide
It's easier

I'm all alone in the midnight hour
Fearing wrath of a higher power
Brush the anguish off my cheek
No closer to this peace I seek
Fake contentment, a life untrue
White lies, knots I can't undo
I fuelled my own worst enemies
Does a clenched fist masked fragility
