11:03, midnight
the jagged city's now dim
it hurts, i remember
the times you're over under him
illusion or not
my heart's shredded too thin
you know well this heart's armored
but this one passed through my skin

prideful to say i'm an excellent impostor
i had a guise behind my sculpt
something you can't decipher
all my words, all my actions
you have treated them lightly
and when you urged for your favor
you never noticed my leer, most likely

here i am now
on a getaway ride
the train felt colder
from the tears i wept dry
he was a distant star
you were a rocket with style
and i was a gazing tree, with a locket of fire

my phone roughly buzzed
12:51
"he's coming for you. tom. come back."
