Denial was Never Pretty

Drowning beneath sweat soaked sheets and stale cigarettes.
Suffocated by perfume, cheap just like the smiles you wear.
Hide from yourself but not from me.

Red eyes unveil sleepless nights, excess wrinkles revealing distress.
Coffee breath and oversized tees say good morning,
I-don’t give-a-fuck, but your pretense is wearing thin.

(We’re all afraid to amount to nothing.)
