take it from me
theres a wall you cant breach
with pretty words they sound absurd like cheap philosophy

I stepped through it clean
and the scars show no more
whats then was the and now is when I choose to ignore

smiles are made of accolades that dont belong to me

slowburn slowburn

all the while you learn
slowburn
all the while
believe me when I say

its a hard pill to take
my second skin is wearing thin my polished visage aches

its not the fact Im a part of that
its the thought Im part of this

behave like someone-else and Im doing it naturally
one way is not enough but I keep it to myself

there for no-one else
I keep it to myself
I keep it to myself
slowburn
