When its Monday and the sun’s out Did you think of novocaine and the stench of bleach Did the ceiling feel closer with every breath of your punctured lungs Did you have to force your heart to remember how to beat Did wildfires spread between the cracks of your ribs? once the burning had faded—did you know the feeling? Is it something that you would’ve once called pain Was pain anything more than a syllable; a roll of the tongue To you, did poison taste saccharine sweet? Were you afraid to heal; is blood your ink? do you find yourself infatuated by tragedy Is your burden only more fuel for your art With every inhale were you left emasculated; Did you feel less alive despite the euphoria; despite the peace of mind numb from glue and gasoline in ignition Did you ever feel like a fallen star? Did you ever talk too fast because you knew no one was listening anyway Was it hard to make everyone happy when They gave you not even a second glance Was it hard to love someone to the point where they could only let you down Tell me Is it better to burn out than to fade away Is it better to be immortalized?

When its Monday and the sun’s out Did you think of novocaine and the stench of bleach Did the ceiling feel closer with every breath of your punctured lungs Did you have to force your heart to remember how to beat Did wildfires spread between the cracks of your ribs? once the burning had faded—did you know the feeling? Is it something that you would’ve once called pain Was pain anything more than a syllable; a roll of the tongue To you, did poison taste saccharine sweet? Were you afraid to heal; is blood your ink? do you find yourself infatuated by tragedy Is your burden only more fuel for your art With every inhale were you left emasculated; Did you feel less alive despite the euphoria; despite the peace of mind numb from glue and gasoline in ignition Did you ever feel like a fallen star? Did you ever talk too fast because you knew no one was listening anyway Was it hard to make everyone happy when They gave you not even a second glance Was it hard to love someone to the point where they could only let you down Tell me Is it better to burn out than to fade away Is it better to be immortalized?
