A False Perfection

Alone
In a room full of people
Afraid
I never "grew up"
A game
What you think you're playing
Subconscious suicide
Is all I see
While you're flying high
I'm flying solo
Standing beside me
We see two different worlds
You live in false perfection
I've chosen reality
Though I never gave in
You've drenched me with your dark
