The pressure builds, you a gift, you're hoping that your dread will lift

It glitters on her like a glass you shudder as it comes to pass

Apologize to Luce and Lil', converse with Ed, a drive with Jill

Your friends confine you in their worlds, one by one, a string of pearls


Confuse you say, this isn't me, you hover in their unity

Ashamed, you slowly lose your grasp release the links, undo the clasp

The skin that drips down from the tree and peels back slowly from your knee

Erupts into your lung and heart, you laugh and laughing, fall apart
