Love is a noose

You wear it like a necklace on a summer dress

The tears are fire

Rings of smoke conjure a halo on your head

We breathe it in, hypocrisy like oxygen

Consume the world, now you're a consumer

Embrace the absurd, now you're a believer

Just like they groomed you to be, a pedigree

A product of epiphany

A prodigy

A prodigy

She holds your hand

But I'll crush you with the silence of a faceless word

Slick smiles reserved

Regret forever the forgotten and unlearn...and unlearned

Soft gums yield bleeding teeth, soft words yield bleeding dreams

Falling stars and sympathies, daydreams and royalty

Just like they groomed you to be, a pedigree

A product of epiphany

A prodigy

A prodigy
