You Take the Bus When You're Dead - Jean Grey Down

Eventually every colour fades

Lacking a catalyst
A gradual change for the worse
Since the loss of myself, and having lost all else
Now I know for sure
That we aren't what we once were
Anymore

The turpentine's fast acting
And it's taking with it
What I thought I would always have
to define myself
Hard to remember my old self
The turpentine's fast acting
And it's taking with it
What I thought would always have to define myself
Oh God, I'm someone else
You're turpentine
Efficient and effective
Stripping me down, stripping me bare
You're turpentine

I cannot feel this mask that conceals my suffering
In silence while these moments are on repeat
I remember a time your smile shining
And leaving impressions on my skin
You're an imbalance of chemicals
A mess of electrical impulse
And I'm calculated
It shouldn't come as a surprise to you or me
That this is the way things had to be
I long for my reflection in your eyes
I'm looking in the mirror and I don't like what I see
The image of someone with purpose
And still chemically balanced
I'm looking in the mirror and I don't like what I see
And that's because of you

But now everyday is the same
Crushing my heart in my hands just to feel anything
But now everyday is the same
Crushing my heart in my hands just to feel anything

How am I supposed to stay strong when I've never been
Anything
Just to feel anything
Anything at all
And I'm wondering what comes
