Truth Untold

Truth Untold My pain and misery fall from the sky So hard I try to ignore it, but it still gets by Surrounds with memories of what could have been The hatred screams under my skin Pulsing through my veins is the anger I feel Wounds break open as soon as they seal Darkness surrounds me with every step I take I manage a smile, but do you know it's a fake? I laugh when people talk to me But inside I'm dying, wishing they could see I'm as different inside as I am the same Wish they could see they're not to blame I know the truth, but it's locked in my heart And now more than ever, it's tearing me apart.

My pain and misery fall from the sky
So hard I try to ignore it, but it still gets by
Surrounds with memories of what could have been
The hatred screams under my skin
Pulsing through my veins is the anger I feel
Wounds break open as soon as they seal
Darkness surrounds me with every step I take
I manage a smile, but do you know it's a fake?
I laugh when people talk to me
But inside I'm dying, wishing they could see
I'm as different inside as I am the same
Wish they could see they're not to blame
I know the truth, but it's locked in my heart
And now more than ever, it's tearing me apart.
