The thoughts that cross my mind
The ideas inside my head
The notions I possess
The schemes that I cook up
The horrible deeds that I plan out
The lack of guilt that floods my soul
Nor the meaning behind it all
The lack of empathy I feel
The shallow pit where a heart should be
How I notice the little things
I know what it all means
I can see through your disguise
Even if you can't see through mine
You don't even notice that I notice
Putting stock in the actions behind your words
You seem so real
Yet so damn fake
It's amazing you can't see
All the wonders that I see
But even if you could
Would you choose to understand
Or turn a blind eye when things just don't sit right
When people's masks become apparent
And their intentions crystal clear
Would you want to know
Could you stomach it all
Could you last through the pain
After growing up so blind
What if you'd been born like me
Destined to see what I always see
Could you be me?
