Go ahead and call me fake Tell me how much you think I hurt you But don't for a second think you aren't a petty liar Don't you dare think you didn't ruin your own relationship And for the love of God, leave me the hell alone Because you know **** well you can't fix what you broke

You're so pretty They're lying I know I'm so self confident No you aren't I'm almost pompous I thought you hated yourself My confidence lies in my appearance Rarely But not usually in my actions You hate everything you do A persona A lie A poser, if you will Oh, but none of that matters when you say you love yourself The thoughts are passing Intrusive *Just a bit of anxiety* I wish you could see how it feels It's not the normal self hate Not when you pretend So surprise, my friends You're queen is living a lie And once you've read this She'll pretend it never happened

The wolves on the water "Where are they?" Are you sure you want to ask that question? you were polished A rose has made you her prey "What do you mean?" Logic is your sword; why is it dull? "How is it dull?" Take notice to the black rust instead "Did she do that?" Unpredictable is the chaos of a flower "You think so?" I know so "What are you trying to say?" You need to recognize what weeds are in disguise to be brilliant; "You're crying..." For your misfortune. "What misfortune?" Distance is a sadistic torture, I've heard "I am aware of that." What's it like, utter helplessness? "I cannot describe it." Let me ask you something, though "What would that be?" Where would you be without your demons? "In a better place." Oh, but doesn't love come at a cruel cost? to be valued "All I want is for you to be happy." I am happy "You are lying." What's the difference? "You deserve everything you've ever wanted." Does that include death? but your value You remind me of this place "What place?" The sea of concrete on death's spine "What is a sea of concrete?" Take this journey on dead waters "Where am I going?" Anywhere but here "Will you come with me?" Perhaps isn't just how bright you shine in the sun--- "Thank you." For what, grey jewel? "For always being there when I needed you." The darkness tastes a little sweeter with your company "Does it really?" I could never lie to the truth "What about me?" You are the truth but it's how you don't decay in darkness Look behind you "Do I want to?" Nullify your fear "What could it be?" these cracks of hope in the sea of rock "A...blooming crystal lily?" "I watched our friendship flower from the concrete." ...

A painted image False happiness as people tell me I'm amazing And a pre-written set of lines to keep me going I wish I had their humility That I didn't rethink myself daily That my mind didn't relapse into hate I don't look in the mirror because I'm afraid of what I'll see I don't stare closely at my body or I'll point out my flaws And I force my mind to call me beautiful until I believe it again "I wish I had your confidence" Do you wish you had such hard relapses of hate And to doubt your own thoughts until you wish you were so much different
