he says he doesn't hate her
while kicking her in the ribs
sometimes words are just words
and actions are everything
he says he doesn't want her dead
while handing her the blade
sometimes actions will tell you
what words cannot say

sometimes words are just words

the fiction in prediction

fiction is fiction when there is no proof
fiction becomes prediction when it actually comes true

fiction becomes prediction when it actually comes true

Comfortable Denial

I didn't want him to die
If only he'd had a survival guide

If such a guide existed
He wouldn't have been so twisted

It's painful to hear the truth
That he died because of you

So you choose to hide
In your comfortable denial

you choose to hide in your comfortable denial

house of mirrors

when i look into the mirror
the glass begins to break
my appearance is beautiful
but my soul is fake
everyone believes me
but the mirror does not lie
so in a house of mirrors
there is no where to hide

there is nowhere to hide

after/before

me in the after
is the you in the before
me in the after
is the you
that i am waiting for

me in the after is the you in the before

detonate

people are so scared of each other
they can not make eye contact
in the super market
on a crowded train
they keep their heads bowed
praying i will leave
like i have a bomb hidden
underneath my sleeve
i take a crazy leap of faith
say hello
give a friendly wave
then wait for them to detonate

they keep their heads bowed

a fair price

feed me lies like you feed me chocolate cake
make me a chocolate cake for each mistake
so you can feed me chocolate cake like you feed me lies
one lie per bite
a fair price

one lie per bite
