i’m proud of the person that i am pretending to be
i didn’t want to admit it, see,
because sadness, no matter how fleeting
is better than not feeling
at all.
but pride seems harmless
in the face of genuine happiness. and i’m lying alone in my
room all i can see is the joy in the gloom.
well, i confess
the monsters don’t scare me anymore
ever since i joined them on the floor.
if you lay with dogs they say
you’ll wake with fleas the next day
Well i lay with creatures of the night
and i haven’t yet wanted to wake from the fright.
