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 Desire layed out in front of me While 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 colors 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 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 There's a me that belongs to you hiding itself in a masquerade The sacrifice of finding yourself Is never touching clarity with who you once were
