Enslaved by emotions in the mental state
Trying to outrun but I cannot escape
True feelings can sometimes be inappropriate
Why do I understand the things I cannot explain
I am being honest but I'm still afraid
While their real self is hidden under the veil
Teaching how to smile even when in pain
Only if it was that easy make the troubles go away
Maybe we can talk when you are done playing pretend and fake
Till then I will try to contain these emotions in a far-off place.
