would you explain to me how to smile I seem to have forgot
the only smile I have left is the fake one that took it's spot
and every breath I take is more meaningless than the one before
I am stealing someone else's air that really needs it more
in the darkness all around I try to find a shadow I reconize
but they all seem so dead, none of them are really alive
and I wonder where is the sun that is supposed to shine bright
how come it's dark all the time and I never see any light
chorus
can I have one last laugh
before I dance with insanity
can I have one last laugh
before I fall into madness
cause I want to remember
how it feels to laugh
cause I know once the demons come
I will never laugh again
the demons sneak up on me breathing down my neck
I never know what to do or what to ever expect
my feelings are not tangible to me anymore
now I'm stuck with a deadness that I can't ignore
I can taste the hurt I have inside upon my lips
it stings me like the striking of a million whips
and I can't comprehend what it's like to feel happy
somewhere in the midst of the deamons I lost me
chorus
my mind is like a puppet that the voices control
my life was mine until the voices came and stoled
stoled my life, stoled my passion for everything
now I am going through the motions caring about nothing
there is nothing that makes me feel okay again
and I am so sick everyday of playing pretend
chorus
