I want to be seen

But not in *this* light, not this way

Not here to bring the pain

Just hoping to elate

Relate... if I'm able

That sense of belonging

Comes with a whisper, a shadow of doubt

It's so hard to feel stable

When the ground disappears, and I can't rebound

I'm losing myself, in this twisting maze

Losing track of the hours, the passing of days

Feeling numb, just to push myself deeper in

Who can tell? I'm the great deceiver, wearing thin.

Bending the truth, just to show that I'm okay

Masking the sorrow, too blighted to pray

That tomorrow won't echo like yesterday

This current that courses, through all of my veins

I tell myself it's excitement... until I'm awake again.

Is there an echo in this empty space?

A hand to hold, a familiar face?

Or just the hum of static, where my true self hides?

Carried on these anxious, relentless tides.

I'm losing myself, in this twisting maze

Losing track of the hours, the passing of days

Feeling numb, just to push myself deeper in

Who can tell? I'm the great deceiver, wearing thin.

Until I'm awake...

(Just the current that courses...)

The great deceiver...
