Close down the blinds and shut off the quiet world from the outside
Plaster on a fake smile, so they won't see the bruises you hide
She's the only one with a say
Her face is blank like a chalkboard
We'll erase it like everyday, a parachute with no ripcord
Falling down, I'm falling down into a world that we both don't know
Don't open the blinds
That tired old vaudeville act goes on outside
We won't see the signs
Life would be better if you would just die
It only hurts for the first time and then you're numb to the pain
The truth is never too close when your reflection just isn't the same
Falling down, I'm falling down into a world that we both don't know
Can you still be strong and will you sacrifice when there's no ground to stand on and there's no room to breathe?
