lyrics

Brave face, mask slips
Feels like I'm falling from grace
Fall from this pedestal I've been placed
The whole world needs me to be this way
I can't keep up my wide smile charade

Anticipate the worst to come
No sleep again, don't tell anyone
Felt something flicker but it's gone
Thought I was smiling but I'm not
I've got this phantom feeling again
Something's missing but I thought it was there
Speak the truth to myself
Lie through my teeth to everyone else

Stuck
in
a
hole
I
can't
get
myself
out

Time is wearing thin, I can't
Stand the state I'm in, it's built
Into my design, it came
To me as no surprise, lay out
All my flaws on the ground, look for
Where it all broke down, don't see
How you all look up when I'm
Falling so far down

I wish I'd see the things they see
About myself, they paint me out as
A perfect man, no confidence
I wish I'd see the things they see in me
I want to love, I don't have faith
Crumbling monuments bear my name
My body's ready to disintegrate at any time
The sound of a mind in collapse
