wasted, paralyzed

beneath ten thousand layers of disguise

built to save

what's left that has already worn away



inside the vacant made-up plastic life

only your heart survived

for one last cry

how long

must I always remember all that I won't forget

until it's my day to die

these broken animals

useless as they are



gravity gets to me

holds me here without release

now's the time to cut the line



cross my heart

i realize nights are long when hope is gone

God help me make it home (this time)
