I think I see somebody I knew.
I know I see nobody I know.
Looking below me, the eyeliner running down
Empty glass in my hand
All Doubts.
I stare at a reflection
I Look at an empty face
I stare at a mangled body
An occupied body
Nobody.
Laying Lifeless I think and wonder
How I thought if I dragged friends home to play pretend
“Good lord maybe I wouldn’t feel so alone”
Feeling of loneliness in a room full of people
Wasting time for that Doesn’t make sense
Nothing but Shaky Breath in a room full of air
What a Shame
“Don’t play dumb, boy, let me learn you better”
For just an hour, throwing a stoplight or two
Pretending works for a nobody to be somebody
“Boy’s a Devil’s Advocate, give no pity”
“Don’t look at that charming toy and think that’s somebody”
I hide pain behind a pretty face
I hide thoughts behind a pretty body
Midnight morning with no one home
2 am with a cup in my hand
A pretty girl who I pretend understands
Red red red
That color of lust
Disgust
Nothing but disgust
Everywhere all over. dark and bust.
Root beer float, no alcohol involved how I wish there was no sickness
Somebody
“When words hold no meaning that’s your problem
Not mine”
You don’t know if someone’s a nobody until they were a somebody else
Staring at a bathroom mirror at the after party
There is nobody
Yet I still pretend I see somebody
Who’s the real fool here, you or me?
