Expose me for all that I am
The man behind the masquerade
I am my own false witness
Fact resides solely in the depths of my mind
And will I ever really let it come to surface?
You only see what I want you to see
And you believe all that you′re told
Serenity is a beautiful hoax
A liar
I have the whole world convinced of my contentment
No truth in this
I've lost count of all the times
I made it home alive
And wished I hadn′t
Expose me for all that I am
The man behind the masquerade
I am my own false witness
I'm left to conquer the mountains in my mind (My mind)
And I am my maker
Life is what's killing me
I hate the fact that I′m just fine
Forever seeking anything
To take responsibility
Life is what′s killing me (Life is what's killing me)
I hate the fact that I′m alive
Forever searching for my scapegoat
Because I refuse to face reality
At least I can say "I tried to cherish every single day"
"When I woke up and didn't want to die"
I′d work my hands down to the bone
Trying to stay suspended in those specific seconds
But I know I'd just be counting down the minutes until I′m miserable again
