Words on Paper

A piece of paper
So clean and white
I see the letters
I know what to write

I pull my hair out
And I tape them on
I see the words now
I'd read aloud

But we obey the laws of the physical
Like words on paper
Like a portrait drawn

We obey the laws of the flesh and blood
Like words on paper
Like a portrait drawn

A dirty mirror
Staring back
I could paint the blushes
Carmine red

I pull my nails off
And I tape them on
A vile expression
I pick up the brush

But we obey the laws of the physical
Like words on paper
Like a portrait drawn

We obey the laws of the flesh and blood
Like words on paper
Like a portrait drawn

You're in the painting staring back at me
You've come a long way, I know

Come walk the path to my reality
You've got a long way to go

Your eyes are hollow
Your lips are cold
Your voice is muffled by the sheets

My mind is broken. No words come out
Your hands are covering my mouth

I'll just say nothing
