Attention Seeking
just face it, we’re all attention seeking
turns out our fears are leaking
act like it don’t matter
act like tears don’t pitter-patter
it’s for show
you know
the way we cry,
say we wanna die,
it’s all a fallacy
an effect of our morality
because we want them to see
and not let us flee
so instead we show it
bit by bit
we need that attention
without any prevention
and with even that
our heart goes splat
on the pavement
calling for derangement
because we need what you give
in order for our feelings to live
attention
attention
more
more
and out the door
to open the drawer
just to do it anyway
no feelings fade away
temporary
always wary
attention is fake
but ours to take
even if it’s never enough
we keep up the bluff
cuz we all need attention
it’s a lamentable temptation
