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
