Today I said only pleasant things
Smiled at strangers
And they'd give one back to me
Confessed a love
That was only for myself
Now I feel guilty
Guilty
Guilty
Today my face beamed
And betrayed how I felt
Didn't envy
Didn't wish for something else
Said what I meant
In a less than passive way
Convinced myself
That blind confidence would help
Still I feel guilty
Guilty
Guilty
With my nails unkempt and frail
I carve my name
And claim what no one else will
Silence
Silence
Time is long and lonely
When you realize
Survival means marching
To the sound of a prosthetic heart
