i think i should be caged

something is so wrong here it physically hurts

i think i could be fixed, you know. i could tell someone, they could fix me.

I think it could all go away

oh I'm so convinced. and oh, how perfect it would be

pure transparency

i'm so much uglier on the inside, if you can believe that...

And its fixable I swear it probably is, but

i'm scared of what i might become

I could be fixed, you know

*but then i'd lose it, all of the beauty,

i'm sure i wouldn't be able to see it anymore...*

So I'll stay broken

i told you, i'm masochistic

And so far form what you could ever think

you don't get it, no, not even you.

I'm sorry, I might have lead you to believe there was beauty here.

Gosh, if you only knew...

if you could understand, you'd run

like i want to

don't you see by now?

I've never said so much out loud.
