Absent Minded
You Are
You are teeth
and bones
skin and hair
and I don't care
you are
filth and crutches
cracked and torn
bloody and broken
and I don't care.
You are faith
down on its knees
sucking on me
you are dirty
breaking me open
spreading me thin
crushing the dreams.
Wake me up
I can't scream
need somewhere to belong
Wake me from this
I can't be
what I want
wake me up
I'm screaming inside
I'm dieing
Won't you find me
before it's too late
You are saints
shaking their heads
on broken necks
holding their breath
on prayers
you want to collapse.
You are slivers
under my skin
crawling in the empty
feeding on the lonely
breaking me open
feel me here
believe in me
follow me down
breathe into me
Wake me up
I can't scream
need somewhere to belong
wake me from this
I can't be
what I want
wake me up
I'm screaming inside
I can't live this
I can't live this lie.
