Hope is gone, but I won't jump the barricade
For fear that others could make it
Don't leave my side again
If nothing is real why do I have to fake it
In this sea of fear and judgment I will lay my head
But the truth is somewhere I can't reach from my bed
The bigger they are, the harder we fall
I wish I could forget it all
Now hope is lost, for those who are so small
It's always too much or never enough
The hand that feeds may call my bluff
Revealing what's inside my broken doll
I let go what ought never to have been unseen
I know this pain and I know I've been here before
I will never learn my lesson hanging by my nails
It's only a matter of time before I fly from the rails
And now I'm back where I started
The page turns but I'm nowhere near the end
It's clear that I won't sleep until I say goodbye
