Don't Look Now

It's funny how easy it is to lie
To everyone around her
She swears, "I don't wanna die."
But just as the vampires cannot stand the sun,
She has to run and hide
And it's a show that she puts on
Like a player in a game
Using all her strength and power
Just to look like she's the same
To all her friends and family,
She's concealing her pain

Time to her is fatal
It is too fast or it's too slow
It is never how she wants it
And that she's come to know-- That there's not much in her life she is able to control
The past is constantly nipping at her heels
Her future looms above her and still
She can't admit to what she really feels

Don't look now
They've got you cornered
Forcing you to face yourself
Don't look now
They're holding your eyes open
So you have no choice but to watch your Hell

"I won't go back!" she cries
"I won't go back!"
Looking ahead now, away from her past
But all she can see is herself-- lost and lonely
As she stares into a future that is black
Her head spins in circles
She doesn't want anything anyway
So she closes her eyes tight and wishes it all away

Don't look now
They've got you cornered
Forcing you to face yourself
Don't look now
They're holding your eyes open
So you have no choice but to watch your Hell
