"We are all that we are."


Distant lines connect our minds
Anger coaxed over thin wires
The sharp edges edge into our
Twisted and terrible hearts

No one loves you like you want them to
No one needs you anymore
And sometimes you fall out sprawled onto the floor
Salty tears mixed with no goodbye
Perhaps we are all pawns in one big lie
We don our masks and paint our skin
Candy coated snakes scitter over before we begin

We talked about this before
You can’t
Not anymore
You’re very sick
And they all say that it got the best of you
I see it now
All the lies are true

Hello
Hello
Everyone!
Say your name
We all accept it
Say your name
None of us will forget it
We’ve all done bad
We’ve all done worse
Pale hands inside a mother’s purse
Coins fall from fingers
Scatter over broken wood

This is what we wanted
This is what we planned
Please look and see
My hair falls in matted clumps
Blue conac eyes
Colors switch where there were none
Perhaps they took me afterall
Or perhaps I killed myself in the final fall
