Pattern's leak through tissue To leave a reminder of the swollen sting Clouds burn with a bitter taste And black rain drips from the tips of my fingers These scales don't quiet weigh in When an image of perfection seems far away A remedy lays out in front of me Where shallow skin sinks in and the inside dries out As soon as they first saw my face, they knew something was wrong A look this pale could never blend in a circle of missing color Never felt much further out of place, disaproval hints in their laughter They never took the time to make sure I was going to be alright When I'm stuck inside these perfect circles My lungs strain just to put words together Caving in, as they tend to come off drone Disgust points out every detail Through the shades of my reflections focus Mindless things become obsession The center that once went without notice I dwell on things that can't be changed Because as long as they remain I won't satisfy Deprivation feels like the only solution When you can't live another day looking at this Print me a label if you must, but simple words can only be so specific Because if you want to make a point you have to go in detail Sketches burn of a familiar face, and something leaves me in circles Notice how the oppurtunity came but we were buried away Now I'm stuck inside these perfect circles Pressures drained the ambition out of me Hurt again, by how easy my worst unfolds If the sacrifice of finding yourself Isn't coming to terms with who you are Then I'm not willing to make the change
