lyrics

Just one more word
Is all that it could take
A crumbling foundation
Surely bound to break
You walk among the crowds
The performance carries on
No one wants to think of it, but it won't be long

And I cannot decide
If it's best to rage or to abide and
All we do is hide
From the darkness deep within ourselves
We all act like it's just fine
But underneath the surface you'll just know
You cannot hide from the darkness deep within

Your smile seems to lack
I think I see a crack
You must free yourself of this
Before it breaks your back
And all this hate
Will spell your own demise
Denial cannot help you
When it starts to rise

And I cannot decide
If it's best to rage or to abide and
All we do is hide
From the darkness deep within ourselves
We all act like it's just fine
But underneath the surface you'll just know
You cannot hide from the darkness deep within

So can you feel it rise?
Can you feel it rise?
Try to keep it in

It's dying to break free
And soon you will
Soon you will all see

And I cannot decide
If it's best to rage or to abide and
All we do is hide
From the darkness deep within ourselves
And we all act like it's just fine
But underneath the surface you'll just know
You cannot hide from the darkness deep within

So can you feel it rise?
Can you feel it rise?

Can you feel it rise?
