Poison Little Star

Dying young is much more dignified
than shining
you poison little star
look at who you are now

But you'll throw this all away just
to say that you could
can you look yourself in the eyes
when you're on your hands and knees
from the night before?
Is there a mirror on the floor,
laughing back at you?

You have nightmares of self discovery:
you're running through a maze
and you come face to face with a monster
he's gruesome and wicked
with deceit and lust in his eyes
but he's you, and he's her, and he's us all
and that's why you run
even faster.

Are you insane or in denial?
On the outside, in the inside is fine
But on the inside the outside is a lie

You're only you once
And one is all you can be
Don't let it be the wrong one.
Nobody else can be you
Even when you try and be
Everyone Else.
