to fake is to arm oneself
the trick is to let no one
get through that shell
but despite my smile
serving the right to be loved
i get [bad word] by the powers i held so dear
another day's just another defeat
in this fighting zone we are fighting
all alone

i see my life in a
very different light now
i'm down to one more goal

show me a world where
i've never been born
'cause i bet it's no better
nor worse than it is today
i got to get away from this place
but i don't know where
so i'll go nowhere

alone

i'll escape tomorrow, fake today
'cause i still hear you breathe
over the noise of the living

distract from [bad word] to [bad word] - [bad word]
