Dreamed In Color

You'll Realize

I hope you see this smile
That doesn't reach my eyes
Gaze at it a while
Perhaps you'll realize
You've crushed my soul
With all your lies
Left me a void
An unspeakable sigh
It haunts my thoughts
This hurt inside
Can't you see this in my eyes?

You build me up
To knock me down
A flesh-and-bone
Tinkertown
You don't see
The way I drown
Every time
I see your frown

I know you wish
I was something else
But I can only be myself
Such high hopes
Such desparate dreams
All clouded by
The silent screams
That issue from my mental throat
Every time
I'm set afloat
To sink so deep into the dark
Of disappointment in your heart
