I've been living my life the wrong way
All my true feelings locked away in a cage.
Wearing a mask for the world
Almost nothing can peel it off
except the door to my room closing shut
"what do you think about her?"
"she's a popular girl-"
"but she's got no chest"
"no butt"
"she's not good enough"
So they discard us.
Away with all the others they believe are trash.
We are taken to the dump
Where we stand together
Except the ones who try to escape
But the wall that is built is too steep
so they are cut and bruised and scarred
till they bleed
and are broken in half
for everyone to see what they truly are.
The ones who stand together
they are marked nobody
They live on with their lives
With a drama-free policy
No one tries to escape
they build the wall higher
so high, no one else can get in
Though they have each other
in their own alliances
together
they live on the beach
where the skyline meets the water
in the perfect nobody paradise
