Honestly, Honesty from .:INSTANT GRATIFICATION:. by Curious Quail

She wakes up
he's sleepin'
the tears are dryin' on her sheets
no place can
redeem her
the words are dyin' on her teeth but
it's just the latest
a string of incidental fears she's
fallin' apart now
with pieces goin’ everywhere
and we all lie
we all lie to ourselves

The mornin'
comes quickly
there's sunlight in his coffee's face
his spirit is broken
there’s shards of her fillin’ the space
the timin'
so perfect
it leaves him here without a trace
a bitter reminder that
'permanent' is total waste
if we all lie
we all lie to ourselves
and if we all lie
we all die by ourselves

Wrap me up and turn me out,
" I never wanna be your face in
the mirror again,"
he said it
well he meant it
wrap me up and turn me out
"I never wanna be your anything again"

They speak now,
in silence
there's awkward that's just palpable
I’m bitter
he's gone now
there's nothin here
but all the wrong and
I don't believe you
when you say "it's all okay"
and if we all lie
we all lie to ourselves.
and if we all lie
we all die by ourselves

"And Honestly, honesty. I never wanna see your face in the mirror
again"
he said it
well he meant it
"Honestly, honesty. I never wanna be your anything
at all
cuz we
all
had everything we need to be happy,"
he says
"We've
all
had enough"
