suffocating on optimism
in a world of cardboard cut outs
of people
cardboard smiles
and eyes that are lifeless

i see you
standing there
and i fall to my knees

beauty packs a pistol

but you are all i need
to suck the life from me
and make it yours

i'll strip you down
and wash away the dirt
that hides your pretty eyes

ill cut away
everything that makes you ugly

i will hold
your heart in my hands

you are holding the gun
and im swallowing my pride

i swear i love you
and even through the lies
you're beautiful
and i dont care if you pull the trigger
because i cant breathe
when i look into your eyes
