I am on display and I'm exposed
because I wanted it so!
I can't hide, and I don't want to
I am naked in front of everyone
it feels good, so what?
I do it out of thrills, out of feels
so scary but I can't let go of this

(A veil on my face
so I can show myself
no fear today)

I am exposed and I planned it before
But in the end - I rushed to the door
feverish, eager, can't wait to show my bones
I blurted it out as I wrote it up
I put my truest, bestest face
I arranged my guts so you can connect

Watch me, watch me do this.
I can look at it in the eyes
because it's alive but gone away
at the same time

Art saved me
from an early death
Art spared, eased the hell

the flame led me here
here I am, another product
on the list
but my flame better be fierce
she doesn't care about my bills
