I haven't felt so alive in years
The sun is shining down on me
My eyes are welling up with tears
Tears of joy, tears of ecstasy

Emotions, I once kept concealed
Now flow freely like a river
Life's great mysteries revealed
Love's great promises delivered

I hate my life, I want to die
I was just pretending all this time
A mask I wear, so I don't bare
My soul to the cold, harsh world out there

Try to prevail but only fail
Each time on a grander and grander scale
My life is worthless and so am I
I hate my life, I want to die

The landscape rises to meet my feet
The sky descends to fill my arms
For once I finally feel complete
For once I know I can't be harmed

All I know is light and love
I feel that I could live forever
While others' troubles seem to grow
I have no problems whatsoever

I hate my life, I want to die
I was just pretending all this time
A mask I wear, so I don't bare
My soul to the cold, harsh world out there

Try to prevail but only fail
Each time on a grander and grander scale
My life is worthless and so am I
I hate my life, I want to die

The epiphany that came to fall
Finally helped me reconcile
What I felt wasn't joy at all
All this time it was just denial

I hate my life, I want to die
I was just pretending all this time
A mask I wear, so I don't bare
My soul to the cold, harsh world out there

Try to prevail but only fail
Each time on a grander and grander scale
My life is worthless and so am I
I hate my life, I want to die
