Go ahead
Just pretend you’ve never done anything bad
My suffering is what you claim
as me, playing the victim
The longer this calamity lasts,
Don’t mind me
I’m just being a little girl
This song is sappy
It couldn’t be worse
It’s him
What is it with people like you?
You treat everything a competition,
all in the name of public acknowledgment.
You flaunt your fortunes,
clearly fishing for compliments.
Say what you like,
do what you will
Let your words be the strike,
if you're in for the kill
Say what you mean,
It’s the environment
I’d rather not be in
full of such impossible demands
and scolding remarks
for my lack of perfection
Must we wait
until something explodes?
We’re still the living bodies
in the same room of silence
Avoid the gaps and the holes
There’s still that hailstorm in my heart
The ice is solid
a perfect, although temporary patch
to fill the holes in its walls
I’m feeling cold
Run, run away
You, with no shame
Never return, not a day
I’ll remember your name
with sickness in me
I’d like to be
right in-between
asleep and awake
Is it too hard to take?
It’s the only place
brick by brick
layers of cement so thick
a real concrete
typically grey, so bland
to ward off the creeps
