The Show
What is the difference between life and death?
Will we only know when we fade into the depths
and take your last breath
and will that your not a hoe
and how hard you tired
even if you lied
or if you ran and hid
maybe then they’ll see how low
you stooped
as if you tied a rope into a loop
and jumped through the hoop
maybe then they’ll know
that they broke your heart
and ripped you apart
and all you wanted was to start
to open your eyes and enjoy the show
