I'm hollow
Said a million times
A billion ways
Behind a smile
Through gritted teeth it's there
It's nothing
That's what I say anyway
I say it all
In a way to dissuade them from seeing
They'd only worry too much
They'd see it their way
They couldn't fully understand
I fold in on myself like paper
And leave a cardboard cutout to smile for me
Cause everything I am and was
Is wherever you are right now
It follows you like a ghost
You won't see me
You won't answer back
You will never know
I used to let you in
But it let me to regret
You used to be here
All I want is the ability to forget
Or the sweet release of social death
Avoid the people
The obligation
Avoid when you decide you need me
Then you can understand what they can't
