You Wanted A Kid

Born blue

Covered in pink petals

None of us had a clue

Of treacherous vessels


The blood in my veins

Isn't it the very proof of my humanity?

Untouched by my own insanity

Tackled by invisible chains


The truth broke loose

You couldn't handle it

I could find no reasonable excuse

To abstain you from dismissing it


Thunder roared inside of me

Forever lost in the haze inside of my head

Could I never be free?

My body turned into a cage of lead


Blue soul

The pink paint splattered on my skin

I'm getting out of this hole

Don't tell me what I've been


The fire cannot be contained now

I've controlled it well so far, haven't I?

You won't allow

For such shocking words to be anything but a lie


We both didn't suspect a thing

Nevertheless, it is true

I won't silence myself for you

My shattered mind and its silent suffering


Is it such a crime?

Mouth shut

Living life as a deplorable mime

Your lukewarm words cut


Sugar stings my open wounds

Would salt heal me

Looking at the ceiling, those endless afternoons

I punished you unknowingly

With my honesty

Is it so bad to be free?


I won't regret what I did

Long enough I've lied and hid

Such a thing you forbid

But you're the one who wanted a kid.
