We wear
Sharp tongues and
Plastic hearts and
Skinny jeans

Spend our days
Walking down
crooked sidewalks
Broken and
Bent sideways

Kissing razor blades
Just to make sure
We'll bleed

Seeing the world
through these
Sewn on button eyes

Secretly angry
Crumbling
Lost

Because we gave away
Something important
That our mothers
Told us to keep safe

Traded it for
Sharp tongues
Plastic hearts and
Skinny jeans
