we have all done worse, haven't we?
Distant lines connect our minds
 Anger coaxed over thin wires
 The sharp edges edge into our
 Twisted and terrible hearts
 
 No one loves you like you want them to
 No one needs you anymore
 And sometimes you fall out sprawled onto the floor
 Salty tears mixed with no goodbye
 Perhaps we are all pawns in one big lie
 We don our masks and paint our skin
 Candy coated snakes scitter over before we begin
 
 We talked about this before
 You can’t
 Not anymore
 You’re very sick
 And they all say that it got the best of you
 I see it now
 All the lies are true
 
 Hello
 Hello
 Everyone!
 Say your name
 We all accept it
 Say your name
 None of us will forget it
 We’ve all done bad
 We’ve all done worse
 Pale hands inside a mother’s purse
 Coins fall from fingers
 Scatter over broken wood
 
 This is what we wanted
 This is what we planned
 Please look and see
 My hair falls in matted clumps
 Blue conac eyes
 Colors switch where there were none
 Perhaps they took me afterall
 Or perhaps I killed myself in the final fall
