This pencil This paper Looks just like coke and razors I write so much I can't feel your kiss I'm not attached to humanity Except through this bleeding heart That I'm slowly whittling away It's taking shape of something so ******* beautiful But you always say I'm killing myself That I'm in denial Crocodile tears and a plastic smile For a while you fool yourself into thinking you're right For a while you fall for your own ******** This apathy These scars Tattoos of times I've been torn apart I ache for human touch But every nerve has been severed I close myself inside Your ****** up mind And watch your memories in silence What we made is so decayed and rotten We denied life to what we'd forgotten I can't look at my reflection without slitting its throat I remember what you told me and I quote: But you always say I'm killing myself That I'm in denial Crocodile tears and a plastic smile For a while you fool yourself into thinking you're right For a while you fall for your own ******** This love Those emotions Can't find which hole in my heart they go in I balance my life on the edge of a blade, I get cut and nicked No matter which turn I take I'm teetering, watching myself bleed It leads me to believe that smile was always fake There was no right time to deny the lies I regretted Self destruction was the first defense I hated As I see all these lines blurred in my head Thinking back to what you said... But you always say I'm killing myself That I'm in denial Crocodile tears and a plastic smile For a while you fool yourself into thinking you're right For a while you fall for your own ********

Self Destructive Plastic Smile
