a penny for the thoughts
and a million for the mind
a man without depression ..
is always hard to find
some would rather melt a plastic face..
not quite so ugly i know..but it will pass
for disgrace
as you appear..in the words..in the fear
can you admit..under god's swallowing eye..
your the worst thing going...
you need to mourn your life away..
already we're bored...of the pretty in you
but we must smile..and shake your hand
our hidden agenda..is the law of the land


 "you can have my isolation..you can have the hate that it brings
you can have my absence of faith..you can have my everything"

"so impressed with all you do..tried so hard to be like you..flew too high and burnt the wing..lost my faith in everything"
