Ian Carter - The Ward lyrics

Words sting almost as much as broken mirrors They can be deep and disguised as our darkest fears They can also be sweet and right off the tip of your tongue For these reasons, I believe no word should be left unspoken Maybe if a “Goodbye” were said, no one's heart would be broke Displaying your emotions in the closest to truest form Leaving books unread, still with the pages torn These paths all lead to a similar place Where you are greeted by a smiling face But these masks are just their hooks and ties It is just a way to disguise all their lies To some, this is the last thing we need To others, it is motive to continue to bleed Why must society try to fix something that is different Is it because they are afraid of the truth behind the curtain Or do they not realize that almost everyone is hurting Often, our stories are easily mistaken By a bystander who may believe that we are faking But believe me, this is a real emotion I cry and dream of drowning in the ocean Schemes and words are too easily served As we become the ones being observed
