I don’t remember
how my soul should feel to smile
for it’s been a lifetime ago
since it has

Please don’t look
into my eyes
for you’ll see all the pain I hide
all the tears
that I keep bottled up inside

Please don’t look
into my heart, for it’s sealed shut
from the world outside
from the truth … from the lies

Please don’t look
at me
for there is nothing left
but a cold empty shell
walking alone …
searching inside myself

I don’t remember
how my soul should feel to smile
for it’s been a lifetime ago
since it has.
