Presuppose

I presuppose you're one of those

whose deepest prose is chiefly pose

and just like you my stinking rose

I'd rather lose my morals than my nose

your beauty in the sky

the buoyant flight the happy lie

invent perfection in your brain to catch you when you fall again

all this time

spent to please the eye

maybe you never had it at all

maybe you don't need it anyway

maybe you were waiting for the fall

to teach you about the value of a day

I've never seen a better day than today

I've never seen a mirror get in death's way

I've never seen self-hate dressed up so nice

I've never seen fun preserved in ice

your beauty in the sky

the buoyant flight the happy lie

invent perfection in your brain to catch you when you fall again

all this time

spent to please the eye

maybe you never had it at all

maybe you don't need it anyway

maybe you were waiting for the fall

to teach you about the value of a day

maybe you were wrong about your face

don't curse your luck

your luck don't need to change

something that is broken in your smile

a speck of dust just falling into space

maybe you never had it at all

maybe you don't need it anyway

maybe you were waiting for the fall

maybe you were wrong about your face

don't curse your luck

your luck don't need to change

something that is broken in your smile

a speck of dust just falling into space

I'm no one

I'm no one

I'm no one

I'm no one

I'm no one

I'm no one

I'm no one

I'm no one

I'm no one

I'm no one

I'm no one

at all
