Faded

We are masters of manipulation,

standing at new heights of hypocrisy.

Preaching salvation to others,

drowning in the whirlpool of our own sinful deeds.

We “appreciate” the inner beauty,

so we go on cutting and killing flowers cause we think they’re pretty,

and we cut and kill ourselves cause we think we’re not.

We mend everything we can on the outside, but we keep crushing our hearts and we smile.

We become everything we are not, but we don’t realize-

that a star is nothing but the sun which faded itself to fit into the sky.
