• You fake a smile and turn around
    But we're all lonely in the end.
    You look for hope that can't be found
    Because I won't be weak again.
    The pain it hurts, but it subsides,
    With time comes tolerance.
    Many people have done tried
    But I won't give them the chance.
    I am an inmate of the prison
    That lies deep inside of me.
    After years with none to confide in
    I cannot function in society.
    They see my heart, a heart of steel,
    But not who I truly am.
    They say if you’re human then you can feel
    But the truth is that I can't.

    I feel no hate, I shed no tears,
    I have no soul inside.
    Others have dreams, they have fears,
    But I just tossed mine aside.
    It wasn't hard to let it go
    And forget my humanity.
    I just thought of what I know
    And what I want to be.
    Soon before I knew it was gone
    I cared for nothing anymore.
    That was when I realized what I'd done
    And the pain I must endure.
    It's harder to do than most believe,
    And not as relieving when you know.
    It's true that you’re completely empty
    But there’s a longing when it goes.
