revolution was a dream,
lying on rooftops
making plans of escape
talking about town people
and you said we mattered
it's just a bitter place
it needs help
like troubled boys
who go to tattoo parlors
for therapy
you said we were beautiful
mean words are just words
alphabets and variables
manipulate and grow, it's easy
close your eyes, walk through
open your heart, be you
you said we were enough
like stars, like night
never dull, tragic but tough
the world will change
from black and white
to everything bright
so, is it sweet where you live?
in your false new home,
porcelain vases, perfumed roses
do you play that guitar
with your broken promises?
do you feel complete
do you need peace
what crosses your mind at night
abandoned friends or fights?
do you shut off the lights
is it quiet with all the lies?
tell me, liar
is it soft inside your ugly?
