Dissonance
Dissonance
By Kevin Robey

There lies a place deep inside of me
Where a girl resides surrounded by lies
Give her my eyes so she can finally see
Mend all her gashes from the day that she died
Awakened by rushing streams in the clouds
She says kill me quickly; reduce her to ash
Make sure they don't find my face in the crowd
Keep memories of me hidden deep in the trash
They're horror in pink hair and pig tails she wears
Confusion to breed this next eternal recluse
We'll be alone forever where no one will stare
The future maybe will include her last noose
The options may be lose or lose where I sit
But alternatives are short of the things I will miss
To die slowly now would make me commit
A bigger crime that I live a lie in the abyss
So I give her a name and heal wounds of abuse
With strawberry gashes a thing of the past
I hear the judging insults already so obtuse
So she'll guide me through the cracks in the glass
[Listening to "Strawberry Gashes" by Jack Off Jill]
