Verse 1
I woke up this morning still mourning
My life that I lost without warning
I'd rather be an addict who ran out of dope
Than be a man in love who ran out of hope
These vacant skies blanket my eyes
Rapidly muffling my vapid cries

Chorus
That's just how the story goes
Crumbling down in a flurry of woes
The higher I rise, the deeper new lows
Touch me to tell if I'm still intact
Happiness I never feel, I just act
As sure as the sun casts light through the trees
That's only my shadow that anyone sees

Verse 2
I awoke to the devil dressed in camouflage
Approached her and found she was just a mirage
Lyrically whispering soft melodies
That disguised a chorus of maladies
Secrets are no longer secrets when known
But still you feel lonely when you're not alone

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
Each day's a hustle all to avoid
Reminders I'm broken and mostly destroyed
But still finding pieces to put back in place
What's gone is restored, but cannot be replaced
I look in the mirror then I disappear
More I endure I must learn to endear

Repeat Chorus
