Modern Day Dorian Gray
Believe it or not
I cry sometimes at night
When I think of all the terrible things
And I'm not some miracle to witness
I'm not some moment to seize
I'll never be as happy
As the way most people think
The picture painted for myself
Is now riddled with disease
But me I'm a carcass living in the
Core of a star that shines so bright
But my light is self blinding and
I'm struggling to find myself amongst my strong need
To delight those around me
I hope you're sleeping soundly
In the bed I made for two
Good for you
And I'm a modern day Dorian gray
And my husk of a person is falling away
But I'm delightful and in spite of all the demons
That I'm feeling I'm a joy to be around
How upside down is that?
I'm barely living life for myself anymore
I'm a goddamn doormat
Take off your shoes and your coat and your hat
And don't look back
And don't forget me when I pass away
Don't forget the memories we made
Don't forget me don't forget me
Don't forget to say goodbye
When you leave
Don't wait up for me
And I'm a modern day Dorian gray
And my husk of a person is falling away
But I'm delightful and in spite of all the demons
That I'm feeling I'm a joy to be around
How upside down is that?
I'm barely living life for myself anymore
I'm a goddamn doormat
And I'm the final lock on the door
I'm the night before
I'm the last resort.
And I'm the fucking noose
Tied around my own neck
When I swing from the gallows
You'll see me I hope I'll look pretty
The night and the stocks
And the blood on the rocks
I am famine and disease
But don't mind me
I'm just existing
And I'm not here to please
I cry sometimes at night
When I think of all the terrible things
And I'm not some miracle to witness
I'm not some moment to seize
I'll never be as happy
As the way most people think
The picture painted for myself
Is now riddled with disease
But me I'm a carcass living in the
Core of a star that shines so bright
But my light is self blinding and
I'm struggling to find myself amongst my strong need
To delight those around me
I hope you're sleeping soundly
In the bed I made for two
Good for you
And I'm a modern day Dorian gray
And my husk of a person is falling away
But I'm delightful and in spite of all the demons
That I'm feeling I'm a joy to be around
How upside down is that?
I'm barely living life for myself anymore
I'm a goddamn doormat
Take off your shoes and your coat and your hat
And don't look back
And don't forget me when I pass away
Don't forget the memories we made
Don't forget me don't forget me
Don't forget to say goodbye
When you leave
Don't wait up for me
And I'm a modern day Dorian gray
And my husk of a person is falling away
But I'm delightful and in spite of all the demons
That I'm feeling I'm a joy to be around
How upside down is that?
I'm barely living life for myself anymore
I'm a goddamn doormat
And I'm the final lock on the door
I'm the night before
I'm the last resort.
And I'm the fucking noose
Tied around my own neck
When I swing from the gallows
You'll see me I hope I'll look pretty
The night and the stocks
And the blood on the rocks
I am famine and disease
But don't mind me
I'm just existing
And I'm not here to please
