[Verse 1]
Awaken in a state that's not my own
The only thing that's real
Is that amongst these walls
I whisper to a fear that seeps in my soul
Waiting on my conscience, but I think I know
[Chorus]
It hurts me to be angry
Kills me to be kind
But my only torment
Is my own disguise
Waiting on these favors they only come to show
There's not much in them for you to hold
[Verse 2]
Awaken to the sudden fact that I've
Simply wasted chances, but I'm not yet to die
Waiting for my temperament to calm
Well maybe they can't hear the cracks behind these eyes
[Chorus]
It hurts me to be angry
Kills me to be kind
But my only torment
Is my own disguise
Waiting on the favors they only come to show
There's not much in them for you to hold
[Chorus 2]
It starts to become something
I can't touch but you can feel
But there's something else surrounding me
It's not easy to see
[Verse 3]
Awaken to the only chance I've got
Hide behind these walls
I look through the cracks
I see the same mistakes that I once made
All that I can tell you there is a price to pay
[Chorus]
It hurts me to be angry
Kills me to be kind
But my only torment
Is my own disguise
Waiting on these favors they only come to show
There's not much in them for you to hold
[Chorus 2]
It starts to become something
I can't touch but you can feel
But there's something else surrounding me
It's not easy to see
[Solo]
[Chorus]
It hurts me to be angry
Kills me to be kind
But my only torment
Is my own disguise
Waiting on these favors they only come to show
There's not much in them at all
