Slipping Away Inside

Everywhere I go, I feel I am slipping away

Away into the world, searching for a better day

No one seems to really know me, they just think I am happy

Smiles can tell lies, and you can hide behind them frankly

Sorrow in my heart, guilt of the past I could not change

Wishing that I could do more, I really would like another name

Running away inside, but no where to go, no money, I feel like committing a crime

But I would be really bad at it, and I would surely be caught

I feel like a failure, in every sense of the word, used up and spit out

Trying to get by, I can only hang my head and cry, slipping away inside

I have this empty feeling, my mind is not right, and it is just a matter of time

As I slip away
