Hollywood Unsung

Don't believe the freaking hype

You are beautiful
And made exactly the way you are supposed to be
That is why you are fine
I am I, and will be right today, and left in the night

Made in the image of the only ghost the world's ever known

You see, every time that you know the light you make life
But I'm tired and trying to talk to God before I close my eyes
Because I noticed you have a fear of heights for the sake of great falls
While I wake up taller, climbing in my sleep as these nights grow longer

Holier for it and now I'm lonelier than thou

The sickness that I'm trying to live with is an affliction of witnessing
I see more than there seems to be around me and the background is louder still
So I feel like I'm dying every time I close my eyes
And the things I hear in darkness make me glad I'm not alive

But here, in flesh, we are, with brand new hearts
But sinners and children of a winter longer than the year we had entered
Skin thicker and the air thinner,
All innards now in knots twisted

You've gotta know I would let it go
Every secret I've tried to keep has cut me to pieces
Whether I want to or because I'm confronted
I'll reject my own gut because my instincts are blunted

Yeah, there must be something in the water
Well is it hard metal or the sins of our fathers

Well, either way that toxicity is killing me

I don't know what's gripping me
I don't know what's holding me down
I don't know once from twice, a wrong righted from right
And I'm spending my life deciphering the neon lies of long swine pertaining to what's right in front and inside of me

And all of this is just a cover up
That heifer painted red's sweating bullets
