underneath

 1.

songs like love letters
or notes you pass
to someone special
when you leave home

knowing that someday
soon or not
i will be coming 
for you

to the world 
i refuse to prove
anything at all
to you i shall
prove what
the world doesnt 
need to know

2.

lose yourself
in the world
erase all 
identity
be the
big nothing
then you will see
what i see

3.

i used to be fun 
now my bottles 
can drink me dry

i used to be shiny
fueled till the morning
till the first
glimpse of daylight

i used to be 
what they i thought
i was
but underneath
they never got the chance
to dig and see

and all the laughing
and all the joy 
of the world
they did it for me
temporary
they just covered
what most of them
could not see

and here i am 
exposed to you
enough 
to run away
from me

theres no more hiding
no more hiding 
no more hiding
