Expect Your Tragedy

She thinks she knows me as she shakes her head at my reflection

Only the reflection radiates from an unknown entity

Someone else fails her in her mind

But I'm perfect because she sees someone else in my eyes


When she looks at me it's like I matter

Until the screen shows what I wish I could be

And then "the world is going to hell"

Like I was never a part of the masterpiece you've seemed to fear


To this day you pretend we're mistakes

But you don't know who you're targeting

Because I'm not who your family should be, right?

I'm not who you wished you could be in a flawed dream


You act like I'm supposed to be a copy of a twisted normality

Inside, you never stopped crying out for something truly fatal

It's simply torn me from my cradle

Why'd you stick me to this label?
