We're No Different

June 27, 2011

I notice in my reflection
As I look into my blue eyes
When the sweet burning of my thighs
Draws me into my sin
Feeding me with all its lies
Strangling myself with smiles
Why does no one see past my mask?

Just take me, kill me, love me or save me
But still doesn’t change that I hate me

Being all alone proves that I have no home
No matter how hard you try
You always end up in the mood to cry
Honestly
I really just feel the urge to die

Every night you’re afraid
Stepping on your precious crown
Of your self-loathing hate
Flushing your meal down
Knowing that death’s your fate
Because of that demented vision of perfect
That took over you, but no one ever sees

Just take you, kill you, love you or save you
It won’t change that you hate you

Being all alone proves that I have no home
No matter how hard you try
You always end up in the mood to cry
Honestly
I really just feel the urge to die

We’re the same; killing for this game
Hating ourselves with the purest intentions
The difference is you’re a coward
A strait joke to your self-inflicting hell
The secret you can’t tell

Being all alone proves that we have no home
No matter how hard we try
We’re always ending up in the mood to cry
Honestly
I really just feel the urge to die

So here’s my attempt to fly or maybe my goodbyes
Either way I’m headed towards the sky

This was the first song I have ever written and I'm a strong believer on equality. I was trying to show that everyone has those moments where they want to give up and end it because they feel alone. Even if your story is different doesn't mean that the way you deal with your problems is. We have all seen those seemingly perfect women and men and always strive to be them. We forget about the fact that we are all the same product, we just have different packaging.
