[Verse]

I smile, wave, pretend I'm okay.

For the sake of my friends who think that I'm sane.

But a deep dark truth has arisen.

I hold back tears as I listen

 

[Chorus]

To the voices in my head that will taunt me for life,

if I give in right now then they won't let me die,

all the pain that I've suffered is torture at best,

but still I drag on.

But still I cry on.

[Verse]

There is no end to my pain.

But there is no other escape.

I will fall until the moment I break,

but even that is mercy; look in my wake

[Chorus]

To the voices in my head that will taunt me for life,

if I give up right now then they won't let me die,

all the pain that I've suffered is torture at best,

but still I drag on.

But still I cry on.

 

[Bridge]

There is no relief, its all an illusion.

The only pain there is left is the torture of living.

My entire life has been a delusion.

The last cries will be my forgiving.

 

[Transition]

The truth will comsume me, I'll try to return.

But all I had was some hope and I gave that all up.

 

[Chorus]

To the voices in my head that will taunt me for life,

if I give up right now then they won't let me die,

all the pain that I've suffered is torture at best,

and I can't drag on.

Now I can't cry on,

good bye.
