I'll just keep quiet if it's easier for you
To make believe in then
That I don't love you as much as I do
its just a bad day
shadowed by bad dreams.
i cant be the doll
tearing at the seams.
so ill sit in my doll house
and ill play pretend
and ill act like ill never
feel this way again.
though i know tomorrow
is just another day
and i have no protection
and no prayer to pray.
because i get the shit beat out of me
many times a day
and I'm so happy
to know you wont stay.
you were so real
when i saw you this afternoon
and that dream
ended too soon.
because for the first time in weeks
i touched you like i could grab the wind
and i felt everything
bubble up from within.
and i woke up.
and didn't even know
until i got in the car
and i felt so low.
and sank so far.
and i cried on the glass
and forced it to pass
got my needle and thread
and sewed up my lips
bloody from words
bloody from your kiss.
there are so many things
id want you to know
and there are so many things
id never show.
but it doesn't matter
cause I'm a dead china doll
and i could never ever
end it all.
and ill carry the world
as a boulder again
minus the weight
of a best friend.
i never really mattered
what each other said
because as i know
i cant trust my head
to do what's right
and best for me
and i know that i could never
really be free.
because if i screamed out loud
it'd be a mist in the breeze
and i will always want to puke
and be weak at the knees.
and ill always make it worse
than it has to be.
and i will always hate you
i will never be free.

this reminds me of "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen. it's a really good play. i have a copy if you want to read it and it's pretty short.
