tension rods in between my ribcage
keeps everything from caving in
metaphorically speaking of course
everything now is taken so literally
capsizing through stomach bile
coughed up from disgust
I get it that you think you're above me
you don't get it that you don't know me at all
you'd like to make that call
since you're so ******* perceptive
allegedly
look around without yourself in mind
it's easy
but not really
because to be self obsessed is seemingly a human condition
and hating yourself behind the closed curtains
most people just leave them open now
they like the breeze of empathy
they invite it in like dark energy
please feel sorry for me
victimizing
I've got a lot under my belt for you to see
not really
turning my problems into ash, or recycling
never really move on, keep sinking
red traffic lights blinking
stop and go
stop and stare
this **** doesn't feel very fair
nothing really is
I feel the doubt every time I say we should kick it
can you feel mine too?
I don't have much to offer you
moving away from home was a mistake
I have more to make
