Placebo
Silent Struggles: Unveiling Emotions in Scars of Life's 'Placebo'
Lyrics
Fake a smile, I force a tear
Faking a smile while forcing a tear.
To show an illusion that I care.
Creating a false image to convey care.
I would rather you just shut your mouth
Prefer silence over hearing insincere words.
Then listen to the bullshit you spew out.
Rejecting and disapproving of meaningless talk.
I don't want this, or do I need this?
Questioning the necessity and desire for a situation.
Its getting way to hard to hold my tongue.
Struggling to keep silent when it's becoming difficult.
There's a door that's blocking off my way
Facing obstacles that hinder progress.
But there's so much more I want to say
Unexpressed thoughts and feelings held back.
I just can't be around you
Avoiding being in your presence.
Still hiding from this life
Avoiding aspects of life and reality.
And the more I keep looking at you
Intensifying emotions by observing you.
I feel this growing inside
Sensing a growing internal conflict.
See through me, I beg of you
Pleading to be understood or seen for who they truly are.
I don't know what more I can do
Feeling helpless and uncertain about the situation.
And I know that you won't understand
Anticipating a lack of comprehension from others.
Your only doing the least of what you can
Recognizing minimal effort being put forth.
I can't fake this, want to erase it
Expressing an inability to pretend any longer.
I have had about all that I can take
Reaching the limit of endurance.
There's a path that's calling out my name
Hearing a calling towards a different path in life.
Its a road I know I'll never take
Knowing a certain life choice will not be made.
I've tried to go my way, escaping from you
Attempting to break free and go one's own way.
Not listening to what you say, I don't need you
Ignoring advice or opinions, asserting independence.
Feelings slowly fade away with time
Experiencing a gradual fading of emotions with time.
The hate is growing inside
Harboring growing resentment or dislike within.
