Stuffing

Because she only knew this life
because she was told this is real
this is how it works
she smiled and hoped for more

Your prince is waiting for you
he'll sweep you off your feet
dazzle you with a mirage
a money tree grows in his yard

Lunch with friends
charge it
sit by the pool with a drink
bask beneath a cloudless sky

To belong
to be envied
to want nothing
but everything

When the well runs dry
dewy grass now brittle  
the line goes dead
it's easy to explain

The mirror does lie
don't stare too long
you'll begin to vanish
who the f*** is that?

Careful what you swallow
it stays with you
surfacing for all to whiff
Pride reeks

Your vision is sensitive
watch it
your heart is priceless
own it

nothing is worth diving off the cliff with all the rest
