Chapter 3 - Let's Pretend We're Numb

I advise you to not hide your feelings

Don't pretend to be okay when you're not okay

Don't pretend to be happy when you're sad

It'll only lead to your misery

The silence screams but no one hears

You're drowning slow in bottled tears

Each laugh, a lie — a quiet plea

Living hurts, but death's not free

(It is for me. Please, free me.)

So we play pretend… eternally

Wearing masks carved out of pain

Smiling wide while going insane

And no one notices the blood in the rain
