War Paint

Why should I

Come out in war paint

Why should I

Try and hide my face

Bury my head, in the sleeve of your shirt

Because you’re the one

Who hurt me first.

Why shouldn’t I

Make you feel like a dick

I did everything I could.

And it makes me sick

The indifference, of giving in

Please lets never speak again

I’ll go back to the black I knew.

I was only stealing light

From you.

when taste and touch

And sound returns

I’ll remember that fire

Does actually burn

That I never liked your mother

And I liked your father less.

I hated the way you would snigger

And the smell of your bad breath.
