Let Me Lie Softly
[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.
