Used to look up to the sky
not anymore
i'm one step closer \

one day

step into this world full of dreams
the ring leader will show you the way
hop into his top hat and escape to a far and distant place
marvel at the spinning cups and sorcerers
and watch the kids in glee riding the marey-go-round.
you see the stripes on the ringleaders jacket? pin straight lines? that's a map of this world full of dreams
this is no circus show
this is a freak show
enjoy the ride

My voice seems stolen
By what you call affection

Shadow in the mirror
See through powers of invisibility you granted me
How carelessly I invited you in
For the tide you are washing me away

Stolen voice
Locked away
Constriction for the caffeine you are
And call me addicted
Because I guess I wanna
           Disappear

Frustruated that the only way to make me believe that I love you
By only believing the rest of the world isn't here

My hollowing bones are the windchimes you call annoying
My insecurities the toothpicks from the flesh you tear
With gritted teeth
False belief in upside down
This is Folie á deux
That has become
              me & you
