Makeup and mirrors
Dark circles concealer
Build your new face while your lip quivers
Blank stares blinking
Your true self sinking
Don’t let it show
Slowly, carefully craft your mask
Quiet your head with a sip from a flask
Fool everyone
They’ll be gone in the long run
Tired nights with long baths
Rinse away all your past
Heave your silent cries
Remember every single lie
Not even I know your truth
How can I even pretend to know you
When you’re in so deep, I can’t see through
You need a clean slate
Stories and secrets deep rooted like tattoos
Lullaby your busy head
Wipe away all the lies
You can come talk to me anytime
Only to shock me with a goodbye
