Once I was trapped in the jaw of despair
with nobody there to care
So I hide my feelings behind a designed blind smile
but deep inside my state of mind was never in line,
With the peace my mind hoped to find
Behind the simile were something, hunting and haunting
the peace and quiet away
Everything you think you know
Is just a dumb show
Twenty four, Seven I was mourning, why was I born
but couldn’t find a answer so I had to go on
with people that are gleeful
Can I keep this going, until then I just keep flowing
But one day that changed
An exchanged student replaced the designed smile
With real a smile
