You played a part

I'm no longer myself, only an emphasized version.

A clown walking in a city,

Tiring people with my overdrawn smile and waterguns

The crowd pigeon-hole the odd ones,

I suppose that I could choose to sink and fall in the hole they digged for me.

I am sorry you thought their lies were true.

The city never brought me love.

They see me as a clown, calmly I'll play the part,

Hold the smile, make them laugh.

Hoping at night they'll never hear me cry

They pass by, saying I am a queer sugar.

Defined and dimished by one word they've carved on my forhead.

A word I chose to prevent them from leaving,

My diseased mind is hard to read,

And my heart an ocean too deep for you who wants to swim

I am not my actions. I am not my words.

We're all entities and spirits limited by others.

Trying to get some of our grandiose form back in our flesh.
