Truth
We hide behind curtains
 To protect ourselves from the world
 Because we all know nothing is for sure
 No one wants to get hurt
 We hide behind empty promises
 To shield ourselves from the truth
 We all know what we want 
 But too scared to follow through 
 
 So if this is the end
 And no one’s left here
 Can we just go back
 To when hope was all we could hear?
 
 I’m sick of all these feelings
 Because they never leave us alone
 These wounds will never heal
 If they scar to the bone
 I’ve been touched by a dark angel
 Whose wings are closed tight
 She might seem beautiful
 But she can’t fly to save her life
 
 And I cry for her, I cry for me
 Together, we make nightmares reality
 I wish I could hide, I wish I could run
 But everyone’s doors are locked shut 
 When I dreamed this
 Dark didn’t exist
 I just hoped that I could just pass by
 Without having to pay the price 
 But I was wrong, I was dead wrong
 I was so wrong, light’s gone
 
 So if this is the end
 And no one’s left here
 Can we just go back
 To when hope was all we could hear?
 
 I’m sick of all these feelings
 Because they never leave us alone
 These wounds will never heal
 If they scar to the bone
 I’ve been touched by a dark angel
 Whose wings are closed tight
 She might seem beautiful
 But she can’t fly to save her life
 
 And she’ll try and I’ll try
 But even that won’t save our life
 We’re spiraling down, time’s running out
 I can’t stop it, we’re going down
 All we’ve got to show is remains
 From the day we thought our world could change
 We were so wrong, dead wrong
 We were so wrong, dead wrong
 So if this is the end
 And no one’s left here
 Can we just go back
 To when our hearts were all we could hear?
