• Looking in the mirror
    The image slowly fading
    A smile appears on the lips
    To be replaced with tears
    The eyes are going blank
    And the mouth is sewn shut
    The girl is breaking down
    Everything she built up

    But I can see what they can't
    A world so dead
    People lost in their ignorance
    Everyone lost in dreams
    'Cause I can see what they truly feel
    Everyone building up hope and love
    To have it all tear down
    To watch it all break down

    Love for passion
    But death for hate
    The girl wipes her tears
    To be replaced with makeup
    Moving away from the room
    She runs from the house
    Forgetting the past she hated
    For a future she will love

    But I can see what they can't
    A world so dead
    People lost in their ignorance
    Everyone lost in dreams
    'Cause I can see what they truly feel
    Everyone building up hope and love
    To have it all tear down
    To watch it all break down

    Snow is perfect
    But rain is destructive
    The beeping sounds are fading
    Replaced with handcuffs clicking
    Images blurring before her
    No one to hold her hand
    The darkness is seeping in
    But the hope is still there wanting

    But I can see what they can't
    A world so dead
    People lost in their ignorance
    Everyone lost in dreams
    'Cause I can see what they truly feel
    Everyone building up hope and love
    To have it all tear down
    To watch it all break down

    A daisy for innocence
    A tulip for forgiveness
    Laughter in her lungs
    Replaces scars on her wrist
    The girl was finally happy
    When death came to her door
    Now no one morns her passing
    As the world continues to turn

    But I can see what they can't
    A world so dead
    People lost in their ignorance
    Everyone lost in dreams
    'Cause I can see what they truly feel
    Everyone building up hope and love
    To have it all tear down
    To watch it all break down

    Why do we build up
    To only break down?
