All I've got now in my defence is my innocence
I've been hypnotised

I was alone, falling free,
trying my best not to forget,
what happened to us, what happened to me,
what happened as I let it slip.

I was confused by the powers that be,
forgetting names and faces,
Passers by, were looking at me,
as if they could erase it.

I was alone, staring over the ledge,
tyring my best not to forget,
all manner of joy, all manner of glee,
and our one heroic pledge.

How it mattered to us, how it mattered to me,
and the consequences.
I was confused, by the birds and the bees,
forgetting if i meant it.

I was alone, falling free, trying my best not to forget

Hell-flavored, I've got mood poisoning
You must be something that I hate
I'm just a prison of property
Buckets full of better misery
There's not a word for what I want to do to you

please wake up
it's so dark and cold
please wake up
i feel so alone
and i feel so scared
that you're going away
and i feel so scared...

all i want is summer
stories from before
just like the day you tried to hide
behind the churchyard wall
and fell asleep before i came...

i found you
in a chain of flowers
sleeping like a marble girl
sleeping in another world...

i'll never tell you
of all the different ways
you make me so afraid...

Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now she's gone

I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

Did he say
He loved girls with
Kohl smeared eyes
A pink blush
Tint of juicy lip gloss
A shimmery eye shadow flushed?

I thought he did;
So I got to the task
at hand, the makeup-
Kohl, blush, lip gloss
Eye shadow
And all of that.

I blinked my eyes
Looked into the mirror
The face I saw, I despised.
Was it really ‘me’?
Or was it the girl that
He wanted me to be?

I met him at the dance,
My crush, it was crushing me!
I stole a glance
At him, he looked back.
Crying out “from beauty to beast,
What’s with the makeup, Preeti? ”

With moist eyes I said
“I thought you liked girls with makeup and….”
He put his finger to my lips
From my eye a big tear slipped.
Cutting through the makeup;
He held my tear with his hands cupped.

Heartbeats quickened, Eyes dreamy
Standing close to me he said,
“unk the makeup
You are Beautiful without it,
I love you too
I have to admit.”

Was it love? Or just a moment
Of attraction shared by two hearts
Graced by the stars above?
Neither of us cared to know;
Thanks to the makeup
The confession of love did flow,
And even with the ghastly makeup
My face did glow! ! ! !
