Marijke van Staden - All is not what it seems

Описание

A smile on my face That’s all you can see What of the tears I keep from you? Countless nights I’ve fallen asleep crying My laughter That’s all you can hear What of the cries for help I yearn to set free? The desire to just run away and leave this all behind Wishing I could fly far away You see the skin I show What of the ugly scars I hide from the world? Remnants of my weakest hours When I gave in to the temptation that a blade holds Release from this hell Wearing a mask to be accepted Just wishing you’d wake up and see All is not what it seems.
