Persona

Underneath the crushing weight of the world

someone searching for a purpose

Play the part that you've been dealt by the herd

mouth and nose beneath the surface

For all the times you held your tongue and rehearsed

(things you would say)

if ever brave enough to stand in their way

All with lies we make our beds and sleep (tucked away)

Out of sight and out of mind we remain

And you start to paint a picture of the world just out of view

Bring it with you as you dream and maybe you can wake up too

Do you believe in the world they made for you

Do you belong or do you try to

Erase yourself just to pass as one of them,

a different day today, and that was then

Walk the streets with newfound eyes and see

things from a whole new perspective

Maybe not what you believed you'd be

but something so much more addictive

Put on your new face and run run run

(through the night)

And take on those who rape and kill and steal

And though the war path hardly knows your name

(all the same)

The taste of blood between your teeth feels real

You find it easier to play along

but you are wrong

And that is why you need those emo songs

Why don't you get that you have killed yourself

And you're in hell

And it is your own fault for once as well
