Perfect Family


Let's play pretend, it seems we're all good enough at it. It'll be so easy, it's like nothing every happened. We're perfectly fine thank you, why bother asking. We're the best at lying, see None of us are crying. It's perfectly alright okay? Everything is dandy. The only way this could get bad is if we run out of candy. It's wonderful what they give us here, It makes things like nothing bad is real. It's sweet and sticky enough to make you suffocate, I bet the truth wouldn't make us feel this way. But it's definitely fine, Everything is good, We're perfectly well, Everything is as it should.
