The Exit

A tear rolls down my cheek,
A thousand needles in my spine.
A beating ache inside my chest.
The days drag on so cold.

And I’m so alone…

A mere sixteen years,
Drenched in enough hurt for a full lifetime
It’s nothing when compared
To the look inside your eyes.

But you don’t see it…

Chorus:

Can you hear it?
As my faith is slowly drained
Can you see it?
When it flashes in my eyes.

You won’t find the answer now
You won’t cross it’s path ‘round here
And I’m sick and tired of hiding
So please, open your eyes.

You’re sitting right beside me
Flashing your million dollar smile
I just wish that you could see
That I’ve been missing for a while.

Hearts and soles
Don’t go missing all that much
But when so much shit builds up
And life’s too fragile to touch

You slip away…
