Be a little harsh, be a little cruel,
Do not hold too much love within you,
Be a mascot of pretense and tell the world you are kool!
Harden yourself; let your heart freeze,
Control your life! But don’t let yourself be at ease.
Splash iced water on those puffy eyes to punish your tears;
Challenge your innocence hard enough to fight your life-long fears,
Change yourself totally; be the one you were never were,
Give up your desire to get cared; sacrifice your intent to feel love
Mute your feelings towards God; silent your belief in faith
Stop fooling yourself with hopes and accept this damn fate!
