I am dark dark dark
Drown it out with alcohol
Give a cocktail a fun name
Make it feel like it’s not a form of a fall
I wrap up like a speaker who’s anxious
Eager to end this
Tell the truth, then go back to pretending
I’ll get dark dark dark
And fake this figure for you all
I will feel this out
Run my hand along the cloth
Make a snag with a sharp nail
Forget I was the force of the flaw
I laugh about it to ease the anxious
But I’ll defend it
Self-destructive habits just happen
I will come crashing down
Become a shell of who I was.
Everybody can see
This is not the real me
But I’ll just keep showing off
Naked body, painted
They will call me a sin
But I’ll just keep yelling “wrong”
I’m projecting a scene
Where I’m flawless and free
But inside I’m an empty cup
Step in closer and lean
I can feel an ending
In the form of a sudden stop
Coming up
There’s a sudden stop coming up
Ignore the truth long enough
There’s a sudden stop coming up
There’s a light light light
Flickering inside my mind
I could tighten the bulb but
I simply flip the switch and resign to night
I hear your voice off in the distance
But my resistance
Is stronger than my cry for assistance
So I’ll just fight fight fight
And wonder why I feel no love
Everybody can see
This is not the real me
But I’ll just keep showing off
Naked body, painted
They will call me a sin
But I’ll just keep yelling “Wrong”
Off the stage and the screen
I’m not flawless or free
I’m the walls of empty cup, so
Step in closer and lean
I can feel an ending
In the form of a sudden stop
Coming up
There’s a sudden stop coming up
Ignore the truth long enough
There’s a sudden stop coming up
I let them all
Put their fingers on me
Drag them ‘round
So they stroke off my lonely
No
They cannot feel me breathing
I move my limbs to keep on deceiving but
A sudden stop's coming up
