We signed the peace treaty but
The war still rages on
We came to peace with ourselves but
The mirror still shatters in our presense
Why won't this hurting stop?

They turned their backs away from us but
The blows still connect to our body
They beat us senseless and killed our hope but
The nothingness in our souls are still being burned
Why won't this hurting stop?

I went to sleep for a while but
The heart and mind are still so tired
I smiled and laughed until I couldn't do so anymore but
The pain behind this mask can't be fixed or healed
Why won't this hurting stop?

How much more should I take
Before I decide to stop playing this sick game?
How much more should I take
Before I decide to stop putting myself in pain?

How much?
