still smiling 
still surviving
but hanging on by a threat

do you know im here
do you know im alive
were you listening 
or could you just hear me

in standing in front of you
you can see me right here
but the sadness of my body
is invisible to you

or maybe you can see 
but you also look past
the pain in my eyes 
   is so immense
how could you 

im crying alone
cuz you aren't around
and when you are
   you dont care

do i overcomplicate
   your life
am i a burden to you
do you just need me 
  when your troubles 
   are too much for 
    the world

i'll get away 
and start again
i'll be alone 
but not expected...

i wont tend to
others' cares,
worldly troubles
or others affairs

everthing could be better
when im gone
but these chains 
are so heavy
weighed down by surpression

but look what i've found
how perfect for me
the key to freedom
my door leading out...

planted feet, steady hand
seconds later i'm already fine

...as a splatter on the wall 
and some chalk on the floor.
