WHEN DOES FOREVER START
WHEN
does life reveal it's startling plot twists and turns
WHEN DOES NEVER END
DOES
Neverland exist
STOP PLAYING WITH FIRE
DON'T
you see it burns
EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES
THE
weight of the debris
CRUSHES
MY CHEST CAVITY
THROW EVERYTHING YOU HAVE AT ME
I've been training
I CAN TAKE IT
MAKE IT HURT
as much as you want
I WANT TO FEEL SOMETHING
IT WON'T
last forever
WANT TO DO ME A FAVOR
STOP
praying for a savior
TO RISE UP FROM A GRAVE
YOU'RE JUST
digging your own
AND THEY'LL PAVE RIGHT OVER YOU
BECAUSE 'GOD'
told them to
BUT THE 'DEVIL'S' FAVORITE GAME
INVOLVES
using other people's names
FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL GAIN
GULLIBLE's
written on the ceiling
THE WALLPAPER'S PEALING, REVEALING
what you've been
FEELING
all these years but were too afraid to share
FIND SOMEONE WHO CARES
MAYBE
they've been there
STARE THEM IN THE FACE WITHOUT BLINKING
FEEL
your
SELF
sink into a place
THE SPACE BETWEEN THEIR EARS
A
cavern filled with fears
NOW
STEP BACK THROUGH THE MIRROR
ALICE
PLEASE PUT DOWN THE CHALICE
DID YOU ASK WHAT WAS IN IT
THE TRUTH sounds different
DEPENDING HOW YOU SPIN IT
SPIT IT OUT
your mouth is tasteless
LIKE THOSE JOKES TOLD BY THESE FACELESS
PUPPETEERS
dressed in 'wastecoats'

*THESE WORDS I'VE WROTE HAVE NOW BEEN SPOKE
SO LET'S STEP BACK FROM THE MACHINE
AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S REALLY BROKE.
