dust

i'm pleased that your lead-weighted smile hasn't faded
i know it's effort
i know it's comforting for you to dress up beautiful
and parade around like you earned it all
attention
attention
welcome to my song
i hope it does it for you
gets you off
i hope it makes you sleep better that you piss me off
it's crowded here
these lines were meant for better things
feelings that were near to me
before you shock-valued me out of honesty
but they're coming back
coming back
shining through like diamonds without debeers' approval stamped on them
i'm a diamond mine
i've got the dust to prove it
and you're lucky to be breathing it
