Honestly, I’m Tired

Throw me out with the bathwater
I’m losing all my skin
Been here too long and my escape hatch
Is locked down from the outside

Honestly, I’m tired of playing pretend
I think that it’s time we’re pronounced dead

I’m alive for the first time
But barely, it seems, my dear
Crawling away from the landslide
That buried me up to here

Honestly, I’m tired of playing pretend
I think that it’s time we’re pronounced

They come alive with the slightеst of spark
Indifference to thе damage that ensues all along
How am I supposed to pretend
That I’m not crumbling apart?
They say you just carry on
