Disguise.

Blue light on the glass A quiet rain A quiet so loud The phone lights up I rehearse the line (I’m fine) I rehearse it again (I’m fine) A smile stretched so thin A thread about to snap a fault line I am spinning The ceiling is spinning I trace the cracks Don’t cave in Don’t cave in don’t Pull me up Pull me up Or just let me break tonight Please, tonight And the porcelain shatters shatters on the floor And the stranger in my eye the one I couldn’t fool She speaks Hey kid (she says) I see you Hiding under the skin Living in the edited version You were shouting at me Shouting till your voice ran dry But I am here now I am here now I am the frantic pulse you tried to hide I am the breath the floorboards tried to keep I am the real story waiting waiting to live I will not be revised I will not be edited down Anymore Anymore So let me fall apart right here Will you notice me? (I notice you) I’m done with perfect lies I just want to be Pull me up (I’m pulling you up) Let me break (I’m letting you break) through Tonight No more living in disguise No more No more Just… me.
