I'm sick of it
Sick of the façade and all the lies
They say if I wear my mask long enough,
I'll finally be perfect
Lies. All lies.
I'll just be the same sad kid playing pretend
Running around drunk off anything I can afford
And high from all the smoke crowns I blow myself
Coz daddy said I'm a fucking princess
Passing out of life just for the silence
Hiding from the voices in my head
And the ghosts in my dreams--
I wish they'd know
I'm already broken, damaged, unfixable
Waking up in random places
Surrounded by strangers who claim to know me
Still in the hell I desperately try to escape
But I'm drowning in my own tears
And all I can do, is hope I fade away…
