    The things you do not know
    What you could not see
    What you were not supposed to do
    And what hurt you so deeply

    Those who were taken away
    Those who are still missed
    The tears that had been ignored
    And the emotions you hid

    The fact that you can never go back
    The love you lost
    The lies which you believed
    And the truths that were beyond you

    The fact that drugs have made it better
    The reality you found on TV
    The music without sound
    And the lives that have no purpose

    What technology took away
    What wars have destroyed
    The prisons filled with innocents
    And a government that always knew what was best

    The suffering that lasts forever
    The money that bought your happiness
    What you missed from not reading between the lines
    And the pain that was pointless

    The love that was not strong enough
    The books filled with blank pages
    The fact that you let others know what scare you
    And what you only saw clearly in the dark

    What you blindly accepted
    When other people hurt and you liked it
    The things that others did not know
    And what you pretended to not have noticed

    Why people hate without reason
    What happens when you do not care
    The weeks that were far too long
    And the days that were not long enough

    The things you hid behind
    The good intentions that paved the road to hell to your hell
    What the world has become
    And what happened when you realized your own mortality

    Those who hated you with a smile on their face
    What cosmetics could never fix
    The deaths that came before their time
    And who defined what was sane

    What you found when there is nothing left
    The people who left you broken and battered
    What made you feel ugly
    And those people you know -who never mattered

    The dreams that filled your sleepless nights
    When all you could save was yourself
    The pride you swallowed
    And the shallowness most people embody

    The places that remained hidden
    The dark clouds that do not have silver linings
    What you closed yourself off from
    And the blank expressions on everyone's faces

    What drove you so far down
    What fate had in store for you
    What you lost along the way
    And the things that you never knew
