And I return to nothingness
Belligerent,
I lose track of time
And of people that once surrounded me
My search for happiness is now over;
I say to everyone else
While faking a smile and convincing myself
that I’ve found it within me
Pretentious world is where we’re living
So I pretend to get by
And I see you’re doing the same
Thus it gives me the courage to lie
Paper flowers don’t die
But neither do they live
Just like you and I
They’re only made to survive
