Shiny Skin

I shut my eyes in attempts to try to sleep

Knowing that it's impossible

The restlessness that grips me like a tomb

Pushes me toward tomorrow

Cause nothing can ever satisfy

Me like you

Tear right through

This shiny skin

Cause it's a pressure that you cannot escape

So we must

Tear

Right

Through

And try to fill

Pretend the emptiness won't still remain

The countless images taunt me

With promises of surrender

What will tomorrow present me with?

With a distraction from who provided it?

Inside that box is a gift

That we will soon forget

Forget and forget

It's not that we want what's inside it

We just wanted to open it

Open it
