Whats wrong?
Whats wrong?
Whats wrong you ask?
Every time i put on a mask
I feel like im fading
Into the scene
The one you reconize
Was never me
Its the face i put on
To give the idea
Of strength, hope, and light
In the night
But my friends know this charade
This absolute mess
Of which ive made
Im always strong
And tipping the edge
Off the cliff
And down the chasm
Look on up i see the schism
That i have left
In the dark
By faking my strength
By losing my heart
From letting the darkness take control
And constantly keeping a face of stone
Even when i fall apart
I say im okay
I lie to my heart
Im breaking down
Piece by piece
Im on my last rope
Cutting the strings
Falling into the pit
A pit we give a name
That we ignore like the rain
Except the rain isnt so clear
It dosnt shine far or near
Im grasping again for the rope
For a hand to just help me cope
With the dark
Thats all-consuming
If you didnt know yet
Ill lay down the cards
Depression is winning
With a royal strait
As its arrow through the heart.

People arent fine all the time. The question of "whats wrong?" is overused and far far to complicated to answer. I dont know whats wrong, and i doubt i can fix it either.
