There’s too many commas when you talk
You act like pain’s the only prey you ever stalk
Your wishes are laid out like a corpse in chalk
You constructed my crown of thorns out of compliments
And all the same I don’t expect you to repent
So young and already so fraudulent
It’s okay, I’ll take a page from you and
Disappear
The genius between your legs makes all the choices for your brain
The others come and go and leave much deeper stains
No one’s told you, your body’s not to blame
Check your reflection, you’ll see two eyeballs in the glass
Don’t they look tired, I bet you need a mask
To face all the actors from your past
It’s okay, I’ll take a page from you and disappear
