I've fooled them all

I'm the biggest joke they'll ever know

It's a high price to pay so

Is it worth it?

Please don't show me you're in pain

Though I know that you're in it

Please allow me one more minute

Away from reality

A moment more of

Defying him

I should have left when I had the chance, goddammit

I grab your hand and squeeze

Through the tears you find me

You needed a release

I can't blame you

I needed it too

The night before this

Slowly learning, slowly leaning

Quietly singing, quietly stinging

You wanna tell me what you think but you're 

Feeling like I won't believe

Silence heals and silence hurts

Your majesty

I prefer you over them but over you

I value acting

As I am sure you do

The coward's lie
