Of bird's featherLie in a bed of birds' feather
Can't move; can't breathe
Wired and roped together
Nothing ahead but black

Sit in the corner of this dark room
Waiting for a final chance
To run away and assume
That no-one will ever know

Stand atop a skyscraper high
Inches from the edge
Air beckons; come leap and fly
Away from this big mess

Lie in a bed of bird's feather
Can't move; can't breathe
Fallen away with bones pieced together
Nothing around but black
Cold steel tearsMe and grey clouds share the rain
With choking coughs and blurry eyes
Silent, alone; broke once again
Shaking in the warmth of a storm

Clip away claws from fingers' end
Won't use them to hurt anymore
Instead steel blades cut and rend
Slices on fingertips burn

Isn't it odd how the cold metal calms
And dries out my face for a while
Echo in my head; sad songs and psalms
Only to bring out the darkness inside
Who i really amToday;
a day of discovery
where everything turned out just right
and I somehow managed to sleep until midday n_n

Woke up this afternoon
and saw in the mirror
black-eyed and sleep deprived
Someone else...
the beautiful person people keep telling me I am
but I'd never believed them

A part of me woke later
when presented with broken glass
a rainbow of shattered shards
Wakened the artist in me
Weird, putting imagination into physical form for once

Now I think I need a hearing check
for something about my voice is different
Singing my favourite songs today
I heard the singer I've always wished to be
Almost like it wasn't my voi
Turn this life aroundSpin around and around the room
Coloured lights blur into one
When laughter rings a melody
And sweet feeling comes to bloom

Music fills the room with sound
But is lost in this crazy magic
Do away with those tears and dance
Embrace this life, turn yours around

---

Sit alone in a corner of this room
Everything has come undone
Holding onto a faded memory
Each shadow laced dark with gloom

Floods of tears and happiness drowned
In seas of lies and deceitful tricks
Fairytale endings have no chance
Forget this life, please turn mine around
I'm not an angelYou call me an angel

Angels are the beings of perfection, yet
I am only perfect at making mistakes
Angels come to symbol a miracle
For many I am a beacon of misfortune
Angels have wings of a feathery white
Now are borrowed, tattered and stained

You say that deep down I'm beautiful

Sorry hon, but if you could see the mess I really am
You would realise I wear a mask
It covers my soul, my mind, my heart
Hiding me behind the person I wanted to be
I left it there and forgot it existed
And now I try so hard to tear it down

You say you love me

Not that I won't believe you, but
I can't help but wonder
Why me?
Of all the other cluele
