You have to fail to succeed
pick forget me nots and watch them bleed
it's oh so hard, so hard to sleep
all i want is some empty codeine.
how do you cope living with bliss
a house not a home, a friend a nemesis
and you're winding down for just a kiss
and the one says, "it's not you i miss".
you have to cut to feel the pleasure
you have to dig to find the treasure
it isn't cute having a waist to measure
i wish i was flawless; beauty is leisure.
when sugar seems bitter i turn to salt
i'm a canvas waiting to find its fault
blasting headphones come to a halt
originality has restored to its default.
armed with shields of deceit i cry
but no one stops, they just walk by
my tears run so fast they're already dry
maybe you would care if i died.
