Colour it in like a Political Party

They can't tell it's a lie if it looks arty.

Dedicating life to painting grey

Telling a story in an elusive way.

Lay! Crying on the blanket until you're forty

Expecting a fresh face to say "I'm sorry".

Almost as bad as mom and dad

Who's "Doctor Scott" and who is "Brad"?

Fad! Depression is a temporary teenage phase(!)

Everything is bound to fall from grace.

Heather told Veronica she was an eagle

Now Heather's as dead as she was fickle.

Trickle! Of sweat enters my eye

Street lights dim not the starry sky.

And although we're tired of the double standard

I still kiss my enemies without a regard.

My soul became as empty as my plastic card

when I decided that love was barred.
