At the bottom
Beneath it all
I sit and fathom
I break and I fall
My eyes
They lead
Another life
Than that of my body
Youd never know
Cos you dont notice me
I'll make it easy
I'll hurt you
Before you hurt me
And I wont feel anything
Nothing for what
I've done to you
Cos I can be callous
And I can be cruel
And give you a worse
That you cant compare
To your bad side
Cos it has half
The staying power as mine
But I wont close my eyes
Cos it's easier to lie
When your eyes
Dont change size
And I have already
Learnt how to hide
Behind a mask
So dont hold out hope
Cos I wont slip
Cos then I'd choke
And that would be worse
Cos you'll hear
The lines
In my verse
But I'd rather be a verb
Than someone
Who has to face the hurt
When you become
An adjective
And I feel rejected
We're feet apart
And your eyes
Have grown dark
Cos that's what
I can do
If that's what you lead me to
I can flip the switch
And you wont remember anything but it
