invisibility.

numb your body, close your eyes
succumb to the heat of drowning in lies
everything’s fine
it’s true and tried
let’s escape the truth tonight

from the car crash melodies
to the movie screams
i know i’m still alone
this is not a dream
and holding hands
is a twist of fate
goodbye kisses
give less than they take

your lips are sewn closed
the truth is, no one knows
the loneliness you’ve felt
or the trouble you’ve seen
and now i know, “forever”
doesn’t mean a thing

from the car crash melodies
to the movie screams
i know i’m still alone
this is not a dream
and holding hands
is a twist of fate
goodbye kisses
give less than they take

put on your mask
then walk out that door
and when will my tell tale heart
beat nevermore?
tuck me in, sing a lullaby
then close that door
so you can’t hear me cry

confused and choking
tension fills the room
secondhand lying kills
so smoke away the fumes
safety pins and ribbons
won’t make a heart mend
so i’m adding a stamp
and letting it send

from the car crash melodies
to the movie screams
i know i’m still alone
this is not a dream
and holding hands
is a twist of fate
goodbye kisses
give less than they take

crying on the bathroom floor
and blue ink staining my hands
are poor substitutes for the real thing
if you cut my strings, i can’t stand
fingers run red clutch at my heart
and hide violet wrists wrapped in the dark

from the car crash melodies
to the movie screams
i know i’m still alone
this is not a dream
and holding hands
is a twist of fate
goodbye kisses
give less than they take

now look at the girl you’ve all helped to make
