stinging eyes and hot tears are welcome
but they reject the invitation
why must i be denied the comfort
of that simple human sensation
crying always seemed to work in the past
but tears won't come, the pain has won at last

chorus:
they split open my chest, my heart falls to the floor
sorry for making a mess, but this mask has worn -
out.

depression's such a widespread disease
so why can't we help ourselves through it?
each person's suffering neglected
who said humans were compassionate?
no one here to help me, my hope is falling fast
please not again, the pain has won at last

(chorus)

it's so hard to hide this hurt, the pain inside
things were meant to go wrong no matter how hard i tried

(chorus x2)
