Look at me, hard
You’re seeing a miserable slave
I put on a face and look brave
And I know I look young, beautiful, free

But if you had better eyes
You’d see the shackles that restrain me
Terrified
To just be
Terrified to just be me

Because underneath all these trappings
Is a soul-sucking nothing
Nothing

A nothing that will consume everything
In its path
So my shackles protect us all
From my unfortunate reality
Please leave me

I only leave destruction in my midst
As I spin through life

Collecting experiences to cover me
With this flesh, identity
It’s not real
So turn away
Save yourself – I’m hungry today
