DRAMA QUEEN

Can you hear the silence of being alone? The deafening stillness of everything you’ve ever known? Put on pause like a VHS tape A full-on heartbreak And you whine and cry and it echoes through the static of a television set. Can you see the darkness of this void? Bewildering emptiness of knowing that he had a choice? Pause like a checked cassette tape An empty slate And you scream and cry and it shakes through the static of the radio waves. Can you feel the fabric of being alone? The rush against your skin that vibrates all along your bones? Pause like a broken zipper A sterling silver whisper And you shake and shiver from a velvet shimmer (will you pull it down just a sliver?) Loneliness never made for a good song You’ve been singing on your own all along Writing records in your bedroom since 15 Drama queen Well you’re older now it seems Loneliness never made for a movie No blockbuster Oscar, no silver screen beauty Behind a Technicolor lens since 19 Drama queen Well you’re older now it seems Why is everyone so mean?
