Don't I look pristine?
Don't I look so clean?
I'm painted for you
I know
Our distance is obscene
But it permits your dreams
About my dance in black and blue
I feel so very sad
I dream and slip away to cry at the night sky
What's sensical becomes so mad
I'm in this room to stay aren't I?
I know I'm a freak
With every tear I weep
I sob my fear to sleep
I emulsify as I creep
Into the corners
Of my deep despair
Count monsters - everywhere
Reflect: Why don't you care?
And still you're standing there
Why do I try? I don't know
What do I really have to show
I must hold hope but it wanes so
I cannot shine I do not glow
I'm failing to be one of you
I'm glad yet I'm heartbroken too
The power - it all lies with you
And all the harm that you do
I dream of Masquerades and soirees
Where I can breathe and run so fast that I can fly
Pretend I'm breathing in - it's truly magic to amaze
I can't be in this room to stay surely can I?
Alone in here at last
You can obscure the past
You can keep me in here; in place
But you will never know my face
I'm at the edges of your mind
Tip of your tongue words you can't find
Finger tips I run right through
I overwrite you - forget me too
