You ask me if I'm okay
a thousand and one times.
I nod my head and smile
with a different reply inside.
smile and nod and just say I'm fine
smile and nod and just say I'm fine
smile and nod and just say I'm fine
Rehearse it,
I would tell myself,
till nobody can see it.
Blind them,
I would tell myself.
With a dazzling smile and eyes so bright
so bright
so bright
so bright...
But bright from what?
Oh I don't know -
no, you do know.
I shan't say it out loud though.
Think of it as a waterfall.
Dream of it as a waterfall.
It's exactly like a waterfall...
...
falling
faster
quicker
faster
quicker
faste-
Oh just hurry up already!
Release me to feel free
I beg of you
Just release me to feel less empty.
Let me chase the water
Oh just let me win the race!
Let me feel something,
have something
anything...
Please just anything...
Oh but yes, I truly am feeling alright.
Liar
But I don't wish to-
Liar!
But all I want is to-
You Liar!
Don't let me face it.
Yes, I'm a liar.
But no,
I don't wish to go
I don't wish to run down empty
like any another waterfall...
But-
But what huh, you Liar?
If the wind could carry me
Go on
Down the fall...
I'd take that willingly
without any hesitation at all
