Bury deep the emotions you feel;
Joy, Sorrow, Hope, Fear;
Let them sit and let them fade;
Keep your face still;
They'll only bring you pain.
And if you run long enough;
The tears will fade into the sweat;
And if you work hard enough;
The blood will seem natural.
Don't let the world touch you;
Never open yourself;
To the shivs of laughter;
That pierce the heart;
Anybody you talk to;
Could pour salt on the wound.
And if you run long enough;
The tears will fade into the sweat.
And if you work hard enough;
The blood will seem natural.
Don't let them know you care;
Don't let them see your rage;
Grasp the plastic smile;
Like a life raft in a sea of red;
Hiding your soul from the sun;
In fear of being burned.
And if you run long enough;
The tears will fade into the sweat.
And if you work hard enough;
The blood will seem natural.
Watch the perils not the goal;
Hide from the pain;
Don't fight your way through;
The obstacles are too many;
The foes too strong;
In the end you shall fall;
So why try at all?
And if you run long enough;
The tears will fade into sweat.
And if you work hard enough;
The blood will seem natural.
If sleep can not be reached;
There is plenty to do;
Study that subject;
Watch that movie;
Anything but think;
About the life you cannot find.
And if you run long enough;
The tears will fade into the sweat.
And if you work hard enough;
The blood will seem natural.
And if you laugh loud enough;
The world will never see.
And if you ignore them long enough;
They will finally leave you be.
And if you hold to this all your life;
You'll never even know yourself.
