Dream Life

  I lend everone my ear, But nobody my heart, And I sure would like to change that, But I don't know where to start, I smile more to myself, Than the world will ever see, Because the only time my smile is real, Is in my own company, People don't know how I feel, They never even ask, It seems that I have fooled them all, They can't see past my mask, If they were with me late at night, When the world was still asleep, Maybe then I'd let them sort, Through the secrets that I keep, But when I wake at 2am, Nobody is ever there, And I learnt that why I hide my heart, Is because no-one really cares.

I guess you aren't the only one who hides things- there is so much about you i've left unsaid but you don't understand the grawing frustration of wanting to know all the thoughts in your head. I know you have many shadowed thoughts I've walked the beginning of that track but i want to know your darkest thoughts too i'm not afraid to walk i...
