EGO AFTER EFFECTS - poem

[00:01.31] How am I supposed to hear you when every sentence you speak
[00:04.67] Is cut through my flesh?
[00:06.20] You try to justify by saying it's only a butter knife
[00:09.06] As you continue to saw at my being, but you love me
[00:12.14] Maybe you love that I stick around even when you forget who you are
[00:16.16] And start caressing my ear with harmonies
[00:18.57] Of false prophecies, narratives of unrealistic truths
[00:22.08] You are gentle with my mental but rough with my roots
[00:25.65] Stroking my heart with despair as you please my visions of us
[00:29.68] Please this vision is lust, I can't trust
[00:33.38] You've been anything but a man to me
[00:36.29] Why can't we just let this be again?
[00:40.23] It's our reality manipulated into a nightmare
[00:41.83]
