Another World

Expensive thoughts in empty minds
Bought hearts in fake confetti
Talking down through painted lines
Taking time rushing blind
Proud vanity strikes me smothered
Drip colour from your eyes
Selfie strut down Devil's street
Champagne gold pounding paramount lies

Sharp tongues and material finds weigh into my frame
Imagination save me all the same
Missing words freeze my reason
Tinted views and silent claws set in
Banknotes needed keep me longer
Make my thin skin stick up stronger

Detached moods under fur coats
Distant conversations inscribed onto my bones
Seeping, crawling serpent dances
Keep us all alone

Blinding lights scream out through the walls

And a crystal palace protects plastic dolls

Sell out spies, open pockets

Hide outs of unending prophets

Speaking in a drone,

I am everything you don't know
