Always thought I was the exception
my own words
talk back to truth
my life, the only misconception
the worth of one conception
stare into space
and stare back upon myself
It's all about self-deception

Hoped the mirror wasn't so clear
in the fog
the steam, the confusion
the world wasn't as it would appear
In exhaustion, a little cheer
only after
the flush faded
that the high would return to fear
pearl on porcelain.
pearl on porcelain.
pearl on porcelain.
Wished it never had to end
I always know
I must face it again
I know I can only reoffend
Try as I might to extend
no hope
I knew there would
be an end, long after I would transcend
