AVERAGE DEATH - The Armed

From the longest lenses far away

Reminiscent, mirror image fades

It’s never really how it happens

It’s never really how it happens

Selfish clever little runaway

Expectations, secret rattlesnakes

It’s never really how it happens

It’s never really how it happens

Oh but she…

Before each take

No light escapes

Prancing disaster

Always an actor

Fame for today

Steal every scene

Dance for your captor

Always an actor

Open letters from another day

Hollow pleasantries, Christmas tree fake

It’s never really how it happens

It’s never really how it happens

Oh but she…

Before each take

No light escapes

Prancing disaster

Always an actor

Fame for today

Steal every scene

Dance for your captor

Always an actor

Pray for sleep…

Shame for the day

She eats her dreams

Always, she has to

Always an actor

Beautiful pain

Worth the exchange

Almost in rapture

Always an actor
