What Lies Beneath

A boy alone in the corner writing songs,
his heroism is unspoken
He gives a piece of himself to make a smile
leaving his fragile heart broken
Why does he put others before himself?
Where did he put his self-esteem?
It is somewhere hiding up on the shelf
amongst his desires and his dreams?

Drowning in his sole existence
without a drop of true love to breathe
Behind a mask he lives his life
Just look to see what lies beneath

A girl dwelling in her own little world
reclusing down inside a hole
She says no one will ever understand
or look deep enough into her soul
She is a rebel against conformity
who's stared into the beholder's eye
She's a wandering spirit, born to be
who wants her wings so she can fly

Drowning in her sole existence
without a drop of true love to breathe
Behind a mask he lives her life
Just look and see what lies beneath
