I'm bad at hiding how I feel
Melt into the carpet please don't show alarm here
I tried to tell you how it's real
Tell me I'm crazy
No-one can love you like me

And as I fall to the floor
I run to the curtains
Swallowed by something more than me

I can't stop sweating here
I know I'm dirty but the water isn't clear

Tell me
I can't, I can't
I'm dirty
Scratch and bleach it's all the same

I read your message back
Tell me I'm a monster then I become her
I stumble and I trip
My words are never dainty
Swollen, bloated like me

I can't fit in your space
Mould me into the girl you want to see
But it won't ever stick
I'll never be

Tell me
I can't, I can't
I'm dirty
Scratch and bleach it's all the same

Reinvent
Turn, turn back the years
Wear all black
But I never learned blending in
I'm unclean
Don't compare me
You never taught this whole thing to me
