	</style>What scares me most is what is hidden
behind your sarcasm and denial.
What is it that you hide so well?
Your manipulative thoughts?
The ones you use to manipulate even yourself.
Bring your walls down
or face endless pain
that has been created by You.
They can&#8217;t take anything from you now.
You are protected, but only if you believe so&#8230;

It&#8217;s always the ones who beg and boast
Their tortuous souls have left them to need

They are hosts
ambiguous figures that fly like ghosts.

Seeking a song.

Never forgetting,

both telling me to stay and run away.
I won&#8217;t look at you anymore

We felt protected by their glow

&#160;&#160;&#160;to bleed and not feel the pain
My wounds always regain
&#160;&#160;&#160;consciousness, always torment me.
And the pain always remains&#8230;
&#160;&#160;&#160;it&#8217;s always the same.
How can someone Feel so much?
&#160;&#160;&#160;without wanting to disappear
and be nothing more?
I wish I were Everything
&#160;&#160;&#160;and Nothing simultaneously.
I&#8217;m not a hero, just a fool
&#160;&#160;&#160;who wants to just Be&#8230;

	</style><p>I wish I were you<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to bleed and not feel the pain<br />
My wounds always regain<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;consciousness, always torment me.</p>
<p>And the pain always remains&#8230;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it&#8217;s always the same.</p>
<p>How can someone <strong>Feel </strong>so much?<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;without wanting to disappear<br />
and be nothing more?</p>
<p>I wish I were <strong>Everything</strong><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and <strong>Nothing </strong>simultaneously.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not a hero, just a fool<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;who wants to just <strong>Be</strong>&#8230;</p>

Become you &#8211; so consumed
You take my breath away
