Backstabbing
I've been playing your fantasy
Force a smile
Fake a laugh
How long can I keep this up?
So you want to play pretend
Two can play at that game my friend
Hide and seek
Will you find me?
Before I become my own worst enemy
Ready or not here I come
And how are we going to know
Which team has won?
Suppression is the key
You won't know about me
Or my low self esteem
Hiding in the shadows waiting to be detected
Silently I scream you can't save me
The deception is fully formed
A smoke screen of deceit
Messages lost in translation
Drowned out to sea
The tip of the ice burg
Is all that you see
The rest is hidden way down beneath
Beauty is only skin deep
Is my mind finally my captor?
My unfriendly keeper
Slowly it creeps up on you
Only too late to be stopped
Could this be I finally won?
Or is it that we lost?
My life stained red
Half awake half dead
Lost inside
Prisoner of my mind
Finally now do you see
The me that you want me to be
And the me that is really me
Which is the me you don't see?
