I act strong even though I’m not
False confidence can only take me so far
I conjure all the will I’ve got
I’m the black hole that once used to be a star
Everyone is looking up to me
It’s not easy to fail someone beside yourself
But maybe this is the most I could be
Can’t you hear the ringing of the bells?
I’ve shed sweat, blood and tears
I sacrificed all that I could sacrifice
I’m satisfied that I’ve made it here
But I can see the faith in your eyes
Don’t burden me with your expectations
My shoulder is too weak
I can no longer tolerate this misidentification
I can hear the words you don’t speak
I will take this final step
Even if it will lead to my inevitable demise
It’s the poison I’ll happily sip
For the sake of that foolish sense of pride
