    Hey now, don’t cry for me
    This life is gorgeous, it's rapturing
    I silently try to sing my heart out
    But this pain won’t go away

    I took the pills, caressed your cheek
    As I yearned for a hug from my mother.
    My voice is too loud, it’s deafening
    I kiss my narrative goodbye

    Your heartfelt murmurs spin right through
    Like this wool that tangles my thoughts;
    My soul is broken, nothing left but two
    Eyes that stare into the dark.

    Will you help me? I can't see...
    My eyes are closed and my knees are weak
    My hands are tied behind my back
    My nails are ragged, the wounds have cracked
    From the scratching I refuse to cease.

    The voice that guides me through it all
    That’s you, you crafty clown
    Take it or leave it, don't be defeated
    Why do you beat me down?

    A pitiful attempt at rescuing me,
    You failed with your expectations low
    This time you cried with tears of laughter
    The ugly marring your heart

    We dance with our eyes blinking slowly
    A circus awaits our bitter attempts
    To rapidly shine and focus on the.. –
    voice, but it won’t let us go.
