Presuppose

Fiction Plane


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
