lyrics

Keep the fire low and stay still in the shadows
Locked doors keep private lies hidden away from prying eyes
The disease is spreading, my flesh is rotting
But my condition is not their business
I’ll hide away until its finished

There’s nothing wrong with me
That you can see
So keep your distance, there’s nothing here to see
I’m only dying

The price of pride is paid in pain
Through covering up my shame
But I hide it all behind a smile
And say I’m fine, I’m okay
All the while my heart it breaks
And I look for a chance to escape
Why won’t you just look the other way

Just let me be

We speak in whispers when we don’t want to be heard
We lock out the doctor when we don’t want to be cured

Smoke and mirrors distract the eye
Lead the audience to fantasize
While the ugly truth is behind the curtain
Neither seen nor heard
Neither helped nor cured
And I’m praised instead of despised

This is my body stripped and broken
In the light for the first time

Hide your eyes I beg again
From the scars that cover my skin
Broken and full of disease
This is my sin
Drink it in


We speak in whispers when we don’t want to be heard
We lock out the doctor when we don’t’ want to be cured
I am disgusting, my body tortured
But now I fall on my knees and beg to be cured
