A Model Life

Do you remember when

We raced little clouds?

I told you you’re beautiful

And you said you were proud of me

So where did it all go wrong

Did we just miss the part

Where we take care of this model life

Instead of tearing apart...apart

 

In a modellife

I would not feel shame

I would be enough

I could leave this game

In these wasted days

Through these sunken eyes

I could see myself in a model life

Do you remember all

The promises you made?

You said you’re a prisoner

That I was your escape from him

So looking back pointlessly

How you twist and you dart

And in your ever shifting narrative

Oh how life imitates art...art

In a model life

I would not feel shame

I would be enough

I could leave this game

In these wasted days

Through these sunken eyes

I could see myself in a model life

In a model life, you would just be kind

You would not look down

and I would not hide

In these wasted days

Through these sunken eyes

I could see myself

Through another’s eyes, another’s eyes

In a model life I would belong here

It could be anywhere, I would belong here

In a model life I would belong here

It could be anywhere, I would belong here

In a model life I feel so, do you feel so lonely?

I could be anywhere, I would belong here

In a model life I feel so, it could be anywhere

I would belong here

In a model life

In a model life

I would not feel shame

I would be enough

I could leave this game

In these wasted days

Through these sunken eyes

I could see myself in a model life

In a model life, you would just be kind

You would not look down

And I would not hide

In these wasted days

Through these sunken eyes

I could see myself

Through another’s eyes, another’s eyes
