Lock the door, lock your heart
Lock away everything you are
In a box that only we can see
So no one ever knows
Step away, step back, step down
Make it seem as if it counts
They see everything you're not
And I see what no one knows
They only love you because they can't see
They only smile because they're so naive
But you're not an angel, you're the monster
Leading all the angels on
I am the shadows, the demons, the ringing in your ears
I am the silence that convinces you you're not worthy to hear
I am the breaker of the bones that keep you standing on your own
I am everything you're running from, every fear you think you know
I am the poison that is running through your heart
I am the liar, the pretender that is tearing you apart
I am the one who laughs at you when your tears hit the floor
Because you never understood that you had everything and more
[So, I'm pretty sure some of this really sucks, but it was an idea, so I went for it. *shrug* Such is the life of a songwriter.]

I don't have time to go all in-depth on it, but you're a very talented songwriter, even on your bad days.
