This isn't the face I use to wear
It's got scars all over and it's starting to tear
But it's all naked to the human eye
Invisible from truths, because I'm judged from my lies

And I know, my broken hands will heal
One day, everything will eventually feel
Like a day dream, just stuck in a haze
Maybe, just maybe, I'm stuck in this phase

Dear God, forgive me, for all my thoughts
Dear God, forgive me, for all the battles I fought
I lost in the end, but a couple fights don't hurt
'Cause once I'm buried, my lungs will fill up with dirt
'Cause once I'm buried, the blood will dry from my shirt
Never once did you see me, to see if I was okay
Never once did you see me, to see if I would live another day
Never once did you see me, to see if I had already decayed
Never once did you see me, to see if I had already begun to fade

I'm tired of these lessons, I just wanted your love
Tell me get out, tell me what I'm made of
Recently I've lost all my sense to control
My body aches for the heat, but all I feel is cold

Dear God, forgive me, I can't take it any longer
Dear God, forgive me, I can't grow any stronger
I'm weak at the bones, paralyzed at the heart
'Cause once I'm alive, my emotions will tear apart
'Cause once I'm alive, bless me with a new mark

Never once did you see me, but I was okay
Never once did you see me, but I'll live another day
Never once did you see me, but I haven't decayed
Never once did you see me, but I haven't begun to fade
