...

minutes pass like hours
the day feels like a blur
my body's numb
no focus here
i didn't think i'd be missing her
pretending i'm somewhere else
feigning strength
so you can be strong
killing myself softly
telling myself nothing's wrong
cutting deep into my flesh
set free what lives inside
it won't come out
rooted deep
i'll kill it when i die
all the world's turned black and white
colours hurt my eyes
but the sun still shines
and people smile
so here's me
all dressed in guise
