Why can't you see that everything's broken?
Why can't you see that my life's turned grey?
I can't believe in anything sacred
When I don't believe that I am real
I need someone to break the silence
Screaming in my head and in my soul
I only see myself reflected in your eyes
So all that I believe I am essentially are lies
And everything I've hoped to be or ever thought I was
Died with your belief in me, so who the hell am I?
I don't know if I am real without you
What is left of me without you?
I don't know what's real without you
How can I exist without you?
(That was one of my favorite songs as a teenager... Somehow missed the glaring red flag, there.)
