CHORUS:  What hope have I
in things that remain unseen?
I cannot pretend
that I am a machine.
Blithely looking where to go
so I can remain me.
Walk a path that most won't go
that leads inside of me.


I wanted to protect you
from the hell that life can serve.
I gave you my trust.
I gave you it all.
Was this what I deserved?

Thought you loved who I was inside,
not to be taken for a freak.
Now I'm walking on eggshells
for fear of the pain
of not being believed.

Chorus


I can't sustain your lifeforce
that's pounding against me.
It's all too much for you to bear,
this permanent disease.

You shrug me off, tell me to leave
as if I was one of your whores.
I grab my things and my memories
as I walk out of your door.

Chorus
