Lady MacBeth

Lady Macbeth

Keep your voice down, keep it quiet
Hear your fears speak but stay silent

Truth is out now, yet you must hide it
Tell no one of this very instance

Wanna show you my worst
Wanna act like I’m all broken and hurt

Truth is, I think the truth is mediocre
Play a lot but I hate being thought of as the joker

Self-sabotage so I can let go
Spiral to rock bottom below

Reach out like I want help
Really, I just want to forget myself

Ignore all the world wants from me
Give up on my responsibilities

Let the world turn gray and dark
Don’t think I’ll ever make my mark

Look up to the sky and can’t see the stars
Everything is off and reality seems so far

Could touch fire and not feel its burn
Thought it was okay, could have sworn

Stutter stumbling over your tongue
Blind to the glint of the gun

Dragged you in with her lies
You’re honest in your cries

Gaze softens as my hand finds your shoulder
I was bought too, in a word colder

Lies about disease
Brought out the humanity in you and me

Shots ring within everyday sounds
Tormented as you laid him in the ground

Pop the pills to find some rest
Slinking into a sleep like the dead

Hide so much from those once close
Just an empty shell filled with a ghost
