You peel off your face
Your empty shell of disgrace
And for the first time
I can look you in the eyes
The façade is gone
Or so it seems
The lights are on
Or so they gleam
Yet underneath the skin
Behind your shiny grin
A new mask takes its place
To blanket your face
Façade is coming down
Façade is going up
I see now who you are
I see one of many stars
Reaching out to touch your face
But you were never there
Trying hard to meet your gaze
To find an empty stare
I’m coming to
The world spinning round my head
I’m coming to
The blood pooling in my bed
I’m coming to
The flies nipping at my legs
I’m coming to
The guts spilling from my chest
