I breathe in the day, for I have no choice
I give you a small smile, I have no voice
I fold my hands together, it conceals a lie
the lie I'll hold on tightly to for life.
I exhale yesterday, it relieves my strain
I reach up mindlessly as the sun decays
Withering away from my sight is happiness
that will selfishly never remain.
I bleed away the care, it's beautiful to watch
Maybe if I lie here long enough, time will stop
Cynically, I laugh through the dark of night
and listen as it echoes back a strange lullaby.
