lyrics

I’ve always been a naïve child.
Never doubted humanity
Until the end of the year.
I found it out the hard way.

Only chosen few left to rely on.
Now aware of your sense of treachery.
You betrayed us for your own benefits
Opened our eyes towards reality.
In a moment of realization
We face the bitter truth.
Dark memories in retrospect
We face the bitter truth.

You made me go through hell,
Made me forget my happiness,
Made me believe I was worthless and shallow
To appear as a prestigious fellow.
Our faces still aching due to the smiles we’re faking.

As a result of my unease I refused to stay awake.
Rather lingering in dreams than ever living for the days. Our faces still aching; due to the smiles we were faking
For no one but you.
We face the bitter truth.
