Lyrics by me

I tried to sit through
love on screen
But it felt like
swallowing gasoline
Perfect smiles,
perfect fights
Wrapped up clean
in ninety minutes
of lies
They say
just open up
your heart
But mine’s a vault
with broken parts
I’ve seen too much
to play pretend
Where does the story
go when it won’t bend?
Rom-coms make me
wanna scream
Too sweet, too fake,
too squeaky clean
Conflict solved
with one cliché
Like pain just
packs its bags
and walks away
I need something real,
something raw
Not a kiss
that cures it all
I found my truth
in pixel blood
In haunted halls
and rising floods
Final girls and
cursed tapes
They don’t lie
they just escape
Every jump scare
feels like home
Every monster speaks
in undertones
They don’t ask
me to forgive
They just show me
how to live
Horror games and
midnight flicks
They get me more
than therapist tricks
They scream the things
I never said
They bleed the thoughts
inside my head
I need something real,
something raw
Not a kiss that
cures it all
So don’t hand me roses,
don’t play that song
I’ve danced with ghosts
all life long
I’m not broken
I’m battle-worn
I wear my scars
like a uniform
I’m not heartless
I’m just trained
to survive
And sometimes
horror’s the only thing
That makes
me feel alive!
No fairy tale,
no perfect bride
Just truth with teeth
and blood inside
I need something real,
something raw
Not a kiss that
cures it all
Oh no no no no no
No simple kiss
that cures it all
