And I walk...

I can hear them...
Voices, whispers, shouts
They're talking to themselves
They're dying a little more

They're hurting themselves,
Why is no one looking?
Smoke. Secrets. Sins.
Someone please...

And I heard them, the things they say
Oh I can hear them alright.
Broken. Confusion. Loneliness.
Stories so dark, night is bright.

Oh the awful things they keep,
The monsters under their bed,
The demons they suppress,
The secrets they had to keep.
So much gloom, so much pain

You can stop smiling.
You can stop pretending.
Your weary, weary eyes
Eyes that tell no lies
Eyes that hides no shadow

Hopeless. Weak. Fragile.
Don't need to fear,
Because someone is near-
I will see to that.

The noises are back,
Some softer. Some louder.
Make it stop. Someone...
Make it stop. Someone...
Hold them, hug them. Please...

Strong I have to be,
Try I have to do,
Make it better I must.
Or else. Or else.

But no hero I am...
The mirror you are,
the mirror I am.
I cannot help you and I want to.
But I cannot even help myself.

So I must walk...

And I will walk...

I will walk away...
Because I am no hero,
The mirror you are,
The mirror I am.
I cannot help myself.

Dark, misty. Wandering...
Again I hear the voices.
Please, I don't want to hear it

So I must walk...

And I will walk...

Stumbling, it's so dark
Leave me be.
They're shouting at me.
Voices of the past,
Voices of the future
But I am no hero.
I cannot help myself.

So I must walk...

And I will walk...

Every step more painful than the last
Tired. But I must walk.
Lost and wandering.
Always walking. Always hearing.
Never stopping.
