Slip Into Character

Break that heart or cut it out
These wings are attached by threads
In this broken universe
You and I now have made our bed
Slip into character one final time
For you my love
Slip into something more uncomfortable
Than all of the above
Spare the conspiracies
And your wellbeing for the afterlife
Silence your phone
Turn out the lights
Let’s both stay in character tonight
Friends come up to me and say
That I’m glowing
I look happy just like them
If they knew the fragile truth
Would they wonder
Who I think I think I am?
Slip into character
One final time for you my love
Slip into something more predictable
Than all of the above
Spare the conspiracies
And my wellbeing for the afterlife
Silence your phone
Turn out the lights
Stay with me in character tonight
Convince me that you’ll be alright
