Why care about the lies and the hate<\/p>\n
Why shield the field of the desolate<\/p>\n
Why lift the arms of the portrait<\/p>\n
Why trace the fault in\u00a0 the artifice<\/p>\n
Where scars made with damaged bottles<\/p>\n
Broke the heat off the misery<\/p>\n
Why spell fate when it’s all fake<\/p>\n
Why lay claim on goods of worthless deed<\/p>\n
Why stretch hope on strange vessels<\/p>\n
The mask did it course<\/p>\n
It hid the art of it’s treeline shape and wanton size<\/p>\n
No amount of frequency could do justice<\/p>\n
As all hope to lead zoomed it’s faith at least<\/p>\n
Why should we need choices when we have known<\/p>\n
Why would they care when they scar not<\/p>\n
Why should they stay when they hurt us<\/p>\n
Living in the cottage with closed blinds<\/p>\n
Damning the chains of facehunt<\/p>\n
The girl with the scar lives on.<\/p>\n
