I fake a smile so no one could see it
The pain's killing me, the lies are devouring me
I'm like broken glasses that's been shattered into bits
My heart's enchained to the darkness and now I'm no longer free

I've spent years trying to be someone I'm not
My blood runs in chaos as I've got only one shot
To lead a life by hiding my true self
Causes havoc to my spine and in my own shadow my thoughts dwell

I cannot pacify the world without my own fragrance
The taste of whisky in my tongue and  mixed feelings in me, they blend
Wish I could fathom the stars above, wish I could take control of this throne
But here I am hiding in the shadows and even a bit of your midas touch could turn me to stone

I wish I could live life happily, I wish things were different for me
I wish I could hold on to what I believe and that I was made out of brie
I wish that this journey that I'll embark upon will lit my life with my true colors
I wish I could step out of my own shadow and live a life carefree.
