What is dark and depressing is bittersweet
as what I write is wrong
and what is wrong is right
As what is thrifty is hip
and what is popular is expensive
As the caffeine in my bloodstream helps me sleep
and what keeps me awake are my screaming dreams
As my clean face is a mask
and this foundation is natural
As dollar bills can be torn
and so can this paper waste
As ants are strong creatures
but I exterminate them with my smallest finger
As your words are so soft
but are breaking me to pieces.

What is dark and depressing is bittersweet
as what I write is wrong
and what is wrong is right
As what is thrifty is hip
and what is popular is expensive
As the caffeine in my bloodstream helps me sleep
and what keeps me awake are my screaming dreams
As my clean face is a mask
and this foundation is natural
As dollar bills can be torn
and so can this paper waste
As ants are strong creatures
but I exterminate them with my smallest finger
As your words are so soft
but are breaking me to pieces.
