Fake is the New Real


I killed the bluejay

Who sang the sweetest song

I didn't mean to, but I did

And the blue skies turned to grey

And the forests are filling me with guilt

As I bury my soul within myself

Hiding in the house that Jack built

Salvaging what of me is left


I killed him, I killed him

He was so very cold

Rejoicing in his preening form,

You found him beautiful


Now skeletal hands will grope his breast

And tattered worms will love him

Yet he alone will have true rest

Beneath this changeling moon

I was the one who stole his breath

And I will join him soon.
