ghosts

footsteps echo through the empty halls

at least they would if the house wasn't so small

we walk around like friendly ghosts

at least until we come to blows

fake smiles and phony photographs

do absolutely nothing for me

so quit it with your fake laughs

i'm done with being your zombie

don't get so close, i think you know

that you don't want to be a parent now

you never tried, you only lied

it's kinda late to learn that now

keep telling me you've changed

you're done with playing games

like i've never heard that one before

i just don't need what you have in store

don't get so near, i think it's clear

that you're headed to a danger zone

don't hug me close, see how i froze

i'm just so used to being alone

i can't train myself to care

after the struggle of trying not to

when my whole life you weren't there

you can't teach yourself not to be you

so we walk around this house like ghosts

at least until we come to blows

footsteps echo in hypothetical halls

but no one's really there at all

Scars

black, blue, and purple baby

you can paint those nails up

but what about the rest of your hands?

red is not your color

but you might as well get used to it

cause you won't be scrubbing that away

anytime soon

looking in the mirror

falling through the cracks

there's no wonder left in wonderland

and i can't seem to get back

looking in the mirror

and wincing at the sight

you can close your eyes but it won't disappear

wish with all of your might

ghosts drift through your periferal

memories locked in a box

spinning like a merry go round

where the hell do i get off?

pretty pictures in colored books

only show the surface

it takes a pick axe and a giant shovel

to unscramble this worthless picasso

if it doesn't disturb you, it isn't art

so smash me to bits and glue together the parts

breaking the damn mirror to shards

staring you down is what's left of your heart

and you can't get away, run as you might

this is what's left of me tonight

looking in the mirror

falling through the cracks

there's no wonder left in wonderland

and i can't seem to get back

looking in the mirror

and wincing at the sight of him

you can close your eyes but it won't disappear

no it won't disappear

before it's time to fight again
