"Overwhelmed"
I feel the tears flooding my eyes
Slowly slipping out of their hiding spots
It's dark inside my place
Casting shadows all around me
I take a deep breath to shake it off
That feeling of breaking down
Into even more shattered pieces
Slowly slipping out of their hiding spots
It's dark inside my place
Casting shadows all around me
I take a deep breath to shake it off
That feeling of breaking down
Into even more shattered pieces

"Liar"
I tell you nothing with my words
There is so much I keep inside
I lie with my smiles and my tongue
To protect you from my sorrow
Lately I want to let it all out
Sometimes I want to scream in agony
So that then you would hear me
So that then you would listen to me
You'd see that I'm a liar
That all the strength I display
Is a mask to hide the weakness
Buried within everything I do
That smile I give to you each day
Is the only one I manage to make
That my "I'm fine" isn't the truth
I'm not fine, I'm so far away from fine
I'm a liar because I'm afraid
To tell you about the darkness inside of me
Afraid you'll judge, retreat, or call me crazy
I don't know if I can trust you with this
With my vulnerability
So I lie everyday
I lie to your face
To your eyes and heart
I lie to you all the time
Hoping that you'll dig a little deeper
Seek out my truth
