It’s easier to pretend, better to keep it in.
Trust me, there’s nothing worth seeing
Hidden in my head.
No magic, no wonder
Just demons and devils running rampant instead.
So sick of feeling the way that I am.
But I know, quite well aware.
My emotions, are my responsibility.
No one, and nothing else to blame.
So meet me at night, when the lights are low
and the music loud.
When the good are sleeping and the lost,
broken
or depraved have come out to play.
If the sun’s what keeps the monsters at bay,
Then the darkness is my haunt.
When shadows and gloom
Keep hidden what the daylight won’t.
I’ll catch your eye from across the floor
I’ll pour you a drink, and we’ll dance real slow.
I’ll let you think, that you’ve got to know
That I’ve bared my soul.
But alas,
The boy you think you’ve got to know,
Is nothing more than a puppet show.
A facade
A fabrication
A twisted mask
Of my own creation.
If even the one’s I’ve held so close
Don’t understand or care to know.
Then what are you?
We’ve spent an inebriated hour or two, nothing more.
Just another pretty girl, in a pretty dress
With more alcohol than sense.
Another unknown that I won’t remember.
No different from any another stranger.
And just like I came
I’ll leave you too.
Disappear into the night
Looking for someone new.
You might chase,
Thinking you could be the one to change.
The one to save.
But it’s not a liberation
or extrication
that I need.
So like a stranger in the night
Let me disappear.
Save yourself,
There’s nothing for you here.
