Jay Parish - No Emotion Lyrics

I'm watching all my plans crumble beneath my feet
How long till I fall through the cracks
I'm watching all my goals get farther out of my reach
I see my future in the past

I've almost reached the point where I would do anything
To make this feel better
But I already understand that there is no sympathy
If I can't handle the pressure

That's why I'm supposed to show no emotion
I'm supposed to have no emotion
If I'm breaking down, I should never speak
And if I show my pain, you'll just think I'm weak

Even if you ask, I tell you I'm fine
While I lose my mind, one smile at a time
Still, I'm supposed to show no emotion
I'm supposed to show no emotion

I can feel my wings disappear while I'm flying
I hope gravity shows me mercy
I've been reaching for every star I see shining
I stretch my hand out and feel it burn me

I've almost reached the point where I would do anything
To make this feel better
But I already understand that there is no sympathy
If I can't handle the pressure

That's why I'm supposed to show no emotion
I'm supposed to have no emotion
If I'm breaking down, I should never speak
And if I show my pain, you'll just think I'm weak

Even if you ask, I tell you I'm fine
While I lose my mind, one smile at a time
Still, I'm supposed to show no emotion
I'm supposed to show no emotion

It kills me to suffer in secret
But I know that's the way it's got to be
I can't show you my demons
'Cause at the end of the day, I know they belong to me

But I'm supposed to show no emotion
I'm supposed to have no emotion
If I'm breaking down, I should never speak
And if I show my pain, you'll just think I'm weak

And even if you ask, I tell you I'm fine
While I lose my mind, one smile at a time
Still, I'm supposed to show no emotion
Still, I'm supposed to show no emotion
