I. Translucent The world in between two sheets of plastic Control and the mask The world revolving around popcorn and jello and the anxious and the hopeful running to a complete stop the world: conflicting paradises bird song caught in your throat one shatter and the world runs down your sides clean and bright you're glowing II. So let me get this straight If I flip a switch I'm more I'm better I'm stronger I'm determined I'm brave I'm different That's right What's the catch Excuse me? There's always a catch (you've known it all along) So, I'm waiting You have to find the switch and with that he left me and a broken switch me alone in an empty room an empty world my mind searching every corner and crevice for the bull in the china shop until he charged and I couldn't hide from myself any longer
