Look me in my eyes
What do you see there?
Tell me, because I'm blinded
By the darkness lurking in them
I was told,
the suicidal fallacies circling like a hurricane,
they scared you away,
Is that why I'm alone?
Even mellifluous words
Couldn't smooth over the wounds
I've inflicted on myself,
I alway want more
Greedy for blood, for pain,
Who did you fall for?
I want to be treated the way I see myself,
Nothing more than a stray,
Kick me aside and leave me,
But always keep my hopes up
So it'll tear me apart in the end,
When you love her more
I call myself such beautiful things
Greedy, whore, disgusting, worthless
I echo only what I hear
From others mouths,
Such a mouthful of thorns
You mouth me beautiful lies
Beautiful, worth it, perfect, amazing
But why,
Do you have to trick me?
I never wanted to fall in love,
And here I am,
Faking for one
Hiding for another
Equality, in no sense,
follows the insanity they call love
I'm my father's daughter
Hypocritical, I tell you to look
Into what hurts you most
To make me feel better
I told you, you're not good enough
You don't deserve me
I'm a liar
And cheat
You don't deserve me
Because you deserve so much more
Not a downhill mess up,
I'm sorry for writing the truth
It's what I've always done,
The words were stolen from me
And kept by my jailer
She didn't want me to see
What I'm haunted by
Every time I see my reflection,
It's not fair
Ugly girls,
Pretty girls,
We're all the same aren't we?
Human
Destructive
Hold me, I'll ask
You do so as I shiver
From the cold in my thin bones
I starved for him
And he didn't even notice,
No warning bells
Everything is a joke when it comes
From my twisted smile,
You didn't notice
That I admitted to tying a noose
In such a terrified tone
I said, as long as it gets the job done,
Does it matter what it looks like?
You did nothing
I'm not surprised,
That's how this society works
I thought you didn't play
By those rules
I don't know where I'm going
I meant to ask,
For you to fix me
But after admitting my hopeless case,
I watch you running,
Running with wolves
Don't drag me back home
I've been hiding it all so well
I'm falling apart,
I don't have to look pretty
Just put me back together
I'm sick of being alone
And yet I see voids around me
Or am I still blinded,
Blinded by previous mentions
Of my hopeful fallacies
Pick one, you polyphonic savior
A single note
Of a complicated melody
Let me fall
Or
Let me fly
