Chuckle or choke On this infinite joke That we call living You have never been forgiving Are you afraid of me? The only person you can't see Plastic tears, wasted years Time for you to run Your hand holds the gun That can blow my heart to pieces
The crevices on your face Form an uncomfortable grin With unkind eyes And blood stained teeth You bite at the sweetest bits Right into the complexity of human skin
There is nothing more beautiful than truth Even when it arouses pain Without it we exist Only in a fictitious state I need your truth Like you need my kiss
Be my distraction From all that is clean Can you smell paradise? Or taste some of me When you look through me What is it you see? Am I as vivid As you imagined I'd be? Lie your body down Between my cries and my screams I'll hold you close Levitating as one, endlessly
Place your hands where my flame burns high Captured by lies, but trust only me I'll give you the comfort You didn't know you'd need If you feed my demons They are hungry and looking to feast
So we exist by the dead calm of night Privileged we are with no concept of pain Swallowed by the tiny world we chose to create Dictating our truth the way we wish it to be What we feel is a mere fraction of reality
