how easily i fall to tears
it infuriates me and instead of
showcasing swollen red eyes
and dramatically choking on muffled cries
I hide, I hide, I hide
I hide, I hide, I hide
It's deep inside
where my secrets lie
the faltered alibis
the cripple's wine
it's deep inside, it's deep inside, it's deep inside
this scarred up hide
stained scarlet suicide
it's where I hide
it's where I hide
it's where I hide
