Cover up those blemishes
Sweep the static under the rug
Try not to clank your dishes
Or let your fault lines take control

Light bulbs burning out
Dreams dissolving into dust
Can't seem to find yourself
In that ocean of broken sentences

Addiction has swallowed you whole
You're in the belly of the whale
Your teeth are burning yellow
And the ink is rotting off your lips

What is it you were dreaming of?
It wasn't under the Christmas tree
Moths are swarming in the brain
And now I see that there's no hope.
