You put on your glassy mask
So I'll only see
The version of yourself
You contrived for me.
You slip on your suffocating shoes
So you can walk on
Like you're not gasping for air,
And nothing is wrong.
You tie up your hair tightly
So you can pretend
You're that pretty little girl again
With those once loyal friends.
You slide up your dejected glasses
So I can't see your bleeding scars
Hiding behind the facade—
I don't know who you really are.
You lied to me like it wouldn't flood
Everything that we had built
Those nights you held me close
Like nothing could ever bring us down.
But the water is filling my lungs,
so what should I say now?
that I will back away?
you'll chain me with your words
until you get your say
and shoot your shot with her
because you have a chance,
and I'll stick to my side,
On misty moons, I wander free,
Escaping life's cacophony,
The world's too loud—a fading sound,
As nature's peace enfolds me round.
