The Promise

I can feel my humanity burning away, A slave to the chaos, the madness inside. I can't control this, make the sanity stay, I can only watch whilst my soul starts to die. These smiles are fake, so few can tell, I'd rather just die but my grin's painted on. I fake these emotions, the tears as well, For the sake of a person who's long since passed on. Don't ask who I promised, I no longer know, The memories are repressed, under lock and key. He begged me to stay, though I think I'd better go, Before I infect those around me with my misery. I can feel my humanity burning away, A slave to the chaos, the madness inside. I can't control this, make the sanity stay, I can only watch whilst my soul starts to die.
