wasted, paralyzed
beneath ten thousand layers of disguise
built to save
what's left that has already worn away

inside the vacant made-up plastic life
only your heart survived
for one last cry
how long
must I always remember all that I won't forget
until it's my day to die
these broken animals
useless as they are

gravity gets to me
holds me here without release
now's the time to cut the line

cross my heart
i realize nights are long when hope is gone
God help me make it home (this time)
