Solo, like Star Wars or women's soccer
I sit on a ***** chair with pure liquor
sealed from the rest of the world
Numb, like Linkin Park or lithium
they hold my wallet like it's a gun;
want to use it to gauge my meaning.
If you want a dollar, babe, then
you gotta work to separate
yourself from everything sane
or how else can you gain
the feelings you see on t.v.,
what E! says is reality--
because you're told that's
what matters, entirely.
Identity; conform to be something
marketable -- or, at the very least,
conventional. I want my insides
to be considered pretty, but
I'd have to hope someone
would give the effort to
cut me open and ignore the joy
that my bleeding out would bring.
