Breaking Point

Peel back the layers and what do you find
A past of impurities, darkest design
Hidden with smiles and how do you do
My true self stays buried
I hide it from you

Another day over, another smile fades
And there you are waiting, I run to my escape
Hope of tomorrow bleeds from my veins
I can’t stop the bleeding
My will is slain

As I reach the breaking point I slip away
Yet no one has noticed until today
Questioning decisions, ill-advised schemes
But they’ve been brewing
Under the seams

So come on and blow my cover
The pain is too much to bear
The smiles are overwhelming
The tears, just too hard to share
