You answered me honestly It caught me off guard The starting gun for logical fallacies and demented poetry From an awful head looking for an escape A break from the drama Someone to fix me Not to puncture my self esteem like a grape So when you said you felt awful i felt a breath Of similarity but not clarity Just fantasy in a room full of mirrors Romanticized with white lights But the air is filled with smoke and my tears This is not a maze but a trial by fire Threatening to rip me limb from limb In pursuit of happiness but from a place not merely dim But you'll never understand it all I took quite care to make sure you never saw my pitfalls The veins in the eyes that fluorescently lit up And the laugh that really was the sound of destruction Pain So dont tell me you need me to put less space Between you and my ailing hidden brain Because you dont want to see the truth im trying to erase
