White dress Black heels I pretended I did not live in the gutter Company I smiled on cue I am someone I told myself 10:27- my life as an actor ended I hoped I'd receive gifts of a brand new person 10:27 my eyes start to scream "I am lying" "I am a beast" "I cannot laugh" "I am sour and full of hate" My eyes are strong and honest The time was up Everyone sees me I am ignored The lie that I am festers inside of me She comes out to play on nights like these When my body craves companionship I fall asleep promising myself I will never pretend not to be a gutter

Gutter
White dress Black heels I pretended I did not live in the gutter Company I smiled on cue I am someone I told myself 10:27- my life as an actor ended I hoped I'd receive gifts of a brand new person 10:27 my eyes start to scream "I am lying" "I am a beast" "I cannot laugh" "I am sour and full of hate" My eyes are strong and honest The time was up Everyone sees me I am ignored The lie that I am festers inside of me She comes out to play on nights like these When my body craves companionship I fall asleep promising myself I will never pretend not to be a gutter
