i like pretending

your silver skin

that crawls in rhythm

sweats like spring

returns me to the deathwish

and all my epiphanies

that branded me and broke my knees

confirms me into the deathwish

misfits for free

a gravity pure expression tears and

pulls them into the deathwish

and all our accessories

that concentrate the pain and tease

embrace them

with the deathwish

are we pretending?

are we pretending?

are we pretending?

i like pretending

are we machines

obsolete

alone

with symbiotic self-indulgence

and if we dig deep

the circuitry burnt out

bends

into neurotic repetition

but your silver skin soothes my aching curses

and reminds me

that you're worth it

the whole world's insanities

the bleeding hearts and tragedies

won't distract me from the deathwish

are we pretending?

are we pretending?

are we pretending?

i like pretending

are we pretending?

are we pretending?

are we pretending?

'cause i like pretending
