Objects.

Look at me
I am not a lie
I am that feeling that you feel inside
When you're happy
And you think you could die
But you wander towards
The falsity and shapely masks
Of a world drenched in sin
A layer of ash
Covering the beauty
Therein lies the fire
Of cold hearts ignited
In death's desire
Look at me
I am not plastic
I am the life when all is fantastic
When life's honest
This is who I am
You don't know it but I know it -
A blanket, a scam
Because my eyes are open
And the world speaks
Off of slippery tongues
The acid leaks a disaster
A lie from within
They pushed it aside
And told you sin was normal -
Don't be afraid to die
Look at me
I am the one dying
With every breath of poison I'm crying
As you linger
Your finger caught on a trigger
Aimed at the only sun
Speaking light into this world
Death has already begun
Look at me
I am merely flesh
I am just a thing you are made to detest
Toss aside
Batter, corrupt my mind
Rape my soul and let it wither
Take me home as a prize
Look at me
I am your trophy
And all the world's a wall of heads
Playground to the realm of death
We're not happy
We are a kingdom of slaves
Bearing false crowns
Everyone's bowing down
But I can't remember your name.
