I've got to find a way to trick myself and think everything's OK.
|
Until then, I will fool you all.
|
The simple things, I'll never let you see.
|
Impossible to get away from me.
|
Way up close, I can see them all.
|
|
If a lie could save my sanity,
|
Every thing I tell myself
|
Is for the sake of saving me.
|
Like a child, I must pretend.
|
'Cause in a world of make-believe,
|
This bullshit life comes to an end.
|
|
If I hide these scars,
|
Would you see how happy all this makes me?
|
I hope this mask is fooling you.
|
Tricking myself is hard to do.
|
|
My face is battered; my spirit's broke.
|
I barely breathe; it's pride I choke.
|
Down on my knees, I'll never let you know.
|
The simple things, I'll never let you see.
|
Impossible to get away from me.
|
Way up close, I can't see them all.
|
|
If a lie could save my sanity,
|
Every thing I tell myself
|
Is for the sake of saving me.

Tricking myself is hard to do.
