Your Pain, My Trap

Don't try and deny it
I'm sitting here shaking before you
I cry silent tears of fear
My mask is glued steadfastly
I cannot turn my head to the light
I'm stuck in my world
So hard to escape its clutches
I can see your pain
I can see how much i'm hurting you
Standing here standing tall
Your life is hard i can imagine
I'm sitting here trying to stay afloat
Snd i'm not doinga very good job of it
I gotta rely on other people
To throw the rubber ring
I think i can see the light
But i can't swim hard enough to get there
