Would you ask my name if my weathered face was less than beautiful? In this shallow place, we become the slaves. On a selfish pedestal. And I believe we’re all just scared. It takes so much from you to give. The less we say the more we hold. We whisper something cruel. About everything and everyone. Am I the only one? I’m the only one. I’m not the only one
