it's easier to live when you don't have to

you can't run forever
you have to face your demons sometime
you're running out of places to hide from them
your closet can't hold your skeletons forever

the cat's out of the bag
granted, the cat's dead
but you can't live in a cemetery
sleeping on graves and killing flowers

songs that make you cut
blood that makes you cry
emotions that make you remember
memories that make you wish you were in the coffins six feet below you

the collision of the sun with the sky
makes your eyes water
in a way that nothing ever could
and you know that you're going to die

don't be scared
just own up to the fact
that you're a leaking faucet
and there's no-one around to fix you

the stains won't come out
no matter how much you scrub
you're tired, i can tell
lay your head down and sleep

try not to wake up
