Trapped in a glass box
I can see out, but no one can see in
People think I'm like a fox
But they don’t know what's under my skin
All they see is the outside
Which I easily cover up with a face
No one can see what I hide
Whatever they see, they embrace
 
No one asks questions
No how was your day
They don't bother reading expressions
It doesn't matter how gray
Sitting there in a depressed like-state
At this point I'm too far gone
That I don't care if I'm late
Or if the test in front of me is done
 
Phony laughs, fake smiles
No one can tell the difference
All my coach cares about are the miles
If I'm there or not, no cares about my presence
Everyone thinks my life is picture perfect
Perfect grades, friends, family, and life
But they don't know the real effect
They don’t know about the knife
 
I'm shattered into tiny pieces
Too small to glue back together
It doesn’t matter the amount of braces
You can't help someone who already surrendered
Deep down inside its ugly
But don't worry, no one knows I’m not happy
Everyone thinks I'm so friendly
They don't know that I'm pretty snappy
 
Binded by those ice-cold chains
There's not enough warmth to melt the pain
Those empty eyes are all the remains
Everything else is drowning in the rain
My wings fell down three years ago
Leaving me all alone
Broken down with an empty echo
Dead without a backbone
