Rising, no demising
Trying, no I'm lieing
Crying, no I'm dieing

Look me in the eye
Can you see behind the smile
Can you look past that twinkle
And see it's all a lie

Look me in the face
Can you hear beyond the laughter
Do you hear me crie?
Can you see what I really mean?

Rising, no, demising
Trying, no I'm lieing
Crying, no I'm dieing

Can you tell the difference
between me and me?
Can you even see
that I'm not who I appear to be??

Does it hurt you when I say
I'd love to take myself away,
that I will some other day,
just to make myself pay?

Rising, no, demising
Trying, no I'm lieing
Crying, no I'm dieing

I wish you heard beyond the laughter
I wish you'd see beyond the smile
But I know you can't
Maybe in a while?
If I'm still here
Maybe I'll let you
MAybe I'll show myself
Maybe you'll see my fear
Tears falling everywhere
Maybe you'll care
Maybe you'll be there
maybe....

Rising, no, demising
Trying, no I'm lieing
Crying, no I'm dieing...
