Drain me of my blood,
strip me of my skin,
peel the muscle from my bones,
this skeleton's held up on strings.
I've been having conversations,
with monsters under beds,
they come to me on sundays,
and speak to me of death.
And I've been trying to take control,
of a beast that's underneath,
that never shows it's throat,
it only shows it's teeth.
My friends say I've been distant,
I know I've been far away,
it seems that I've gone quiet,
overthinking what I say.
I'm not smiling, its just a mask.
I'm no diamond, I'm just broken glass.
Punch me in the throat,
kick me in the teeth,
drag me to the water,
hold me underneath,
I've been hiding in plain sight,
and putting on a show,
but dwelling on my actions,
when the curtains close.
I'm no diamond, I'm just broken glass.
So I'll put on a show,
of false bravado,
the emperor's clothes,
are nothing at all,
and I know,
I'm nothing at all.
