• Emotions can hurt
    Like the breaking of a bone
    And I wonder sometimes if its worth it
    To save me before I turn to stone

    I'd love for the ocean tide
    To carry out my sorrow
    To real back in the joys I've forgotten
    And to drag me under to a different sort of tomorrow

    From under the crashing waves
    Can the sunset still reach my cold eyes
    Will the rays warm my icy skin
    And possibly burn away my harshest lies

    As my soul hardens
    And I sink slowly into the abyss
    I slowly wonder if I'm safer down here
    If my shell of loneliness is anything but bliss

    I know I'm not strong
    And I understand i need my own protection
    But I can't help but ponder as I sink
    On the surface what is it that they see of my reflection

    Do they see the happy me
    Or the me who cries herself to sleep
    Do they see the me who laughs at everything
    Or the me whose too heartless too weep

    I believe I am all whoever they see
    But is it better to be locked away
    I think I like it at the bottom looking up
    The quiet calm its here I choose to lay
