Death Through Imperfection

This is the way a broken heart sounds
[crack. shatter. scream. then left to bleed]
Shatter the glass with your screams
[i didn’t mean to scream so hard]
People just don’t notice unless it’s visual anymore
[can you see it now?]
To preoccupied with money
[and sex]
Too self obsessed,
[preen and pose in front of the mirrors]
To notice before it’s over
[gone]
And all over the news
[this is the 10 o’clock news, our main story tonight…]
The personal matters draped across the television
[not so personal anymore]
For everyone and anyone to see
[it might be them next time, lets get them prepared]
Some secrets are meant to be blasted open wide
[blasted so hard it blows you away]
The sound of worries whispers
[it’s too late]
From friends that never noticed enough to care
[would you really call them friends?]
Until it was right in front of them
[are they blind or stupid?]
Spelt out
[d.e.a.t.h. through i.m.p.e.r.f.e.c.t.i.o.n]

the parts in brackets are spoken, i wrote this as a song. you might not be able to get the feel of it without the tune but it's the lyrics that mean something to me.
