afar

i never really see up close
but always from afar

     perhaps because i overdosed
     and they only see my scars

perhaps because i'm different
i don't fit their shape

     perhaps i should be different
     give into their sultry ways

perhaps it's all on me
i can't seem to fit in

      perhaps it's all on me
      i can't tighten my skin

perhaps i'm kidding no one
they see straight through my lies
     
      perhaps it won't be undone
      they see the smoke clouds my eyes

perhaps it won't be worth it
trying to fit their mold

       perhaps i'll be better off
       just turning to stone
