500 Days.

[Verse 1]
Every day they grow, the demons from the low of my existence.
Every night they taunt me, the screaming of my unsung fears loosed.
The nightmares stalk my daylight hours and push away,
The dreams that save my sanity.

[Bridge]
Words fail to form
Hope fails to shine
Truth is abandoned
In the City of Lies.

[Chorus]
500 days for 1000 sleepless nights,
Driven awake by an empty fright.
500 days for 1000 white scars,
Blind stabs in the dark leaving endless marks.
500 days for 1000 lost cries,
Laughter drowned in the City of Lies.
500 days for 1000 white scars,
Blind shots ring out in the dark leaving irreversible marks.

[Verse 2]
Every day the sun goes down, the evening looms, the night is sealed.
Every night my consciousness weakens, the adhesive to reality pealed.
I walked the same routine routinely, to which my soul was sold.
For each day, I grow another two nights old.

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Memories fall into a lost abyss,
Dream slip through fingers to nothingness.
I have nothing to call my own;
My name lacks meaning.

 [Chorus]

Truth is abandoned
In the City of Lies.

Society-[Part 2]

[Verse 1]
I turn around, and look at myself, and laugh through all the tears.
I’m a hypocrite to my own existence; I’m the sum of all my fears.
And the worst is that my battle goes unnoticed, to all my cries are aimed for.
They’re everything I stand against, and they pretend not to be phased at all.
I try so hard to help the girl, crying in the corner.
And to remind her, if she’s lost, there’ll be someone to morn her.
But when will those who believe my smile, realise mine's just as fake;
As all those girls' who’ve ran away? I stick around only for their sake.

[Bridge]
So I song my song, in memory,
For all those ruined by society.

[Chorus]
None of you tried, to reach out for me,
When I needed help.
So all I do is reach out to them,
For I’ve felt what they’ve felt.
None of you tried to comfort me,
When I was alone.
You’ve criticised me and I blundered through,
Though to you, I am disowned.

[Verse 2]
I’ve made peace with myself, by forgiveness, and encouraging 'try again.'
But what you taught me was just one chance, and then the slain lie slain.
I couldn’t keep it up, forever; I had to hit the wall.
But I’ll come back, I’m climbing up, to say you blew it all.
People say how lucky I have been, that I have what I do.
But this song isn’t for my cry, or all that I’ve been through.
It’s for everyone in mental war, with who they are not.
Because no one deserves to feel that way, or to feel like giving up.

[Verse 3]
So smile through the pouring rain, and pull on through the tears.
Because they’ll be someone waiting for you, and you always know I’m near.
The fear will fade, the time will change, it’s better by the end.
Believe this line, I know it’s true - the living proof is here.
