At the edge
tears stream down your face
you no longer care
no one is ever going to see you
the tears keep on falling
but the pain doesn’t go away
tracing the edges
see where the glue meets the glass
the seal’s been made
it’s not like you and life
this bond is connected
you’re failing to keep the pieces together
you wonder if you can pick yourself up again
your not wearing the old masks
but the new ones work just the same
pour a drop, maybe a lot
it doesn’t really matter
you’re going to drink it all anyway
your head is pounding
you can’t get their words out of your head
a blurry head makes it easier to get to tomorrow
is it right? Who cares
but right now, you just need the pain to go away
you wonder why the shit always falls on you
if you didn’t have such bad luck
you’d have no luck at all
maybe that’d be better
you’re failing to keep the pieces together
you wonder if you can pick yourself up again
your not wearing the old masks
but the new ones work just the same
you pour a lot
because nothing really matters
numb the pain
forget the words
allow you to breathe again
maybe it will work, maybe it won’t
it’s all too much right now, you need some sleep
your blurry head makes it easier to get to
another disappointing tomorrow
you’re failing to keep the pieces together
you wonder if you can pick yourself up again
your not wearing the old masks
but the new ones work just the same
they always get you to tomorrow
