We'Re Not In Kansas Anymore

Have you ever found your mind drifting into that dark place that secret and dense absence of light look into the mirror and say "There is beauty in destruction" running your fingertips down your spine collarbone wrists hips ankles only to feel numb your heart imploding as the gravitational pull plays tug-o-war with your passion 10 versus 1 your heartbeat slows leaving behind a shell the exquisite mask your sold your soul to construct was it worth it did all of your dreams come true are you happy pure untouched perfect no just the 3rd degree burn of deception fall to your knees beg for the last five years of your life back thin chance slim chance anything but fat chance click your heels 3 times all that glitters is long gone follow the yellow brick road back to your heart grab hold of yourself time waits for no one not even you
