Silences..
Stars faded
like boys
I made a joke
he said you get your life
i said where is it
i said i loved a boy
in my past life
like a second skin
he said you made your bed
now lay in it
i said when am i gonna build a wall
around my layers
and protect
my second skin
like a prayer
a shadow
the baby i never had
i said it was a joke
i lied
my second skin
when am i
gonna learn
to build a wall
like a never ending joke
i didnt say
maybe a past life....
