Sure I can act
But when I get on stage it’s the passion I lack.
Another fake smile pretending I can’t hear
They gossip and laugh confirming my fear.
You ignore another text
I guess I’m just a pest.
I’m reaching out, you better grab me fast
Right now I’m looking through a mirror of broken glass.
The person I see
It’s not who I want to be.
My pain is pulling me down
I’m screaming but no one can hear a sound.
I reach for your hand
Before I leave for the Promised Land.
I’m struggling not to cry
Why would you let them lie?
Could you do anything worse?
My heart is about to burst.
I let you in
I guess that’s my sin.
Telling secrets and dreams
I’m tearing at the seams.
I’m a broken doll held together by a string
I was just trying to find my wings.
When you cut me I bleed ink
If I don’t write I might sink.
Into the dark oblivion called life
Staring down the knife.
I am blind, I’ve lost my sight
I try not to lose this battle with all my might.
But when I get on stage it’s the passion I lack.
