Façade!

---

**Today, I'm wearing a dark underwear, for the sole purpose of knowing I am wearing them** And underneath that, I'm completely naked. >And I've got skin, miles and miles of skin. I've got skin to cover all my thoughts, Like saran wrap that you can see through.

To what leftovers are inside from the night before

And despite what you might think, my skin is not rough; nor is it bullet proof.
My skin is soft, and smooth, and easily scarred.

But that doesn't matter right? You don't care about how soft my skin is.

You just want to hear about what my fingers do in the dark.
But what if all they do is crack open windows?

So, I can see lightening through the clouds
What if all they crave is a jungle gym to climb for a taste of fresh air?
What if all they reach for is a notebook or a hand to hold?
But that's not the story you want.
You are licking your lips and baring your teeth,
Just once I would like to be the water in the well

I don't need to be the well, but I'd like not to be the ground anymore

Some girls know all the lyrics to each other's songs,
They find harmonies in their laughter,
Their linked elbows echo in tune
What if I can hum on key?
What if my melodies are the one's nobody hears?

Some people can't recognize a tree & a front yard,
How many circles can I walk in before I give up looking?
How long before I'm lost for good?
It must be possible to swim in the ocean of the one you love without drowning,
It must be possible to swim without becoming water yourself,
But I keep swallowing what I thought was air,
I keep finding stones tied to my feet.
