Figured you’d cry,
Bow your head, and let me roll my eyes,
Pushed you into a corner,
And made you feel like I do,
All the time,
For a bit.

Well, guess what?
I’ve nailed the lid down,
Jack can’t get out of his box,
No more surprises.

Because now I’m in control,
And I’m not wasting anytime.

You know
Your superficial problems,
Your half-hearted promises,
Your “best kept” secrets?

And that guy you always wear?
Ripped him away from you,
You don’t need him
He doesn’t need you,
He told me so,
Through his confusion,
The glue he inhaled,
Which stuck him to you,
Made him crazy.
Who’s crazy now?

You are probably there,
Wondering,
What the hell?

Well I’m here,
Thinking,
Go to hell.

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. - Gary Jules, Mad World.

"You are probably there,

that was so cool. i definitely relate to those hateful feelings you get. but you know, we should try to rise above it..but i cant, so im just being hypocritical...

OMG I LOVE THESE LINES

What a masterpiece you've crafted, Hollow!
The Jack nailed in his box...
The guy he wears...
Perfectly done, my dear!

There's this obscure song by Air Supply called "Bring Out the Magic". It's not the same ol' syruppy stuff that those who remember these guys usually did... Likewise, this is your "Bring Out the Magic". I always love reading your writes, as there is always, always a line or two that need to be recorded in the annals of momentous statements of all time:

"Figured you’d cry,
Bow your head, and let me roll my eyes"

For all our sake, keep on telling it like it is! Loveya!

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere
