Trying To Hide

I've been crying to myself, 
cumbersome and full of pain, 
and i can taste it on your breath, 
the sober crash; you've gone away.

but I can't take it anymore, 
chasing stars that never fade, 
so I'll kiss you just once more, 
and hope the feeling fades away. 

but you'll see me in those lights, 
ocean eyes wont sleep today, 
so just go back to yourself,
in a lucid halogram of apathy. 

Break free from this awkward chain, 
you see me now; I'm not going away, 
swallow your pride and open your eyes, 
there's no reward in trying to hide. 

My mind is racing in the night, 
frantic in my search for you, 
but I can't waste away on dreams, 
heaven is never what it seems. 

until the day that you awake, 
and question not this blissful fate. 

Break free from this awkward chain, 
you see me now; I'm not going away, 
swallow your pride and open your eyes, 
there's no reward in trying to hide. 

Ignorance has failed you now, 
i can see you look at me, 
say your last goodbyes, 
to the distance that you made, 
you're inside pandora's box, 
and there's no use trying to hide.
