unique

by orange_4_m - Sagittarius

down the stairs
the charcoal man stays.
he's just like me,
special in surreal ways.
i thought i heard him laugh,
i thought i heard him smile,
but he's just like me;
so it must have been a mistake...

sometimes they say "girl dont u see?
ur so unique, so unique."
and that charcoal man,
he's just like me,
i wonder if he knows it yet.

down the hall,
the charcoal man lives.
i can hear his breath
penetrate my skin.
i thought i heard him breakdown,
i thought i heard him cry,
but he's just like me;
and now i know why.

sometimes they say "girl dont u see?
ur so unique, so unique."
and that charcoal man,
he's just like me,
i wonder if he knows it yet.

i had a dream,
that charcoal man was me.
obliviously overlooked,
and he died in his sleep.
sometimes i hear his loneliness
sometimes i hear his fears,
but then i realize hes gone
and its me i hear.

sometimes they say "girl dont u see?
ur so unique, so unique."
and that charcoal man,
he was just like me,
just like me...
that charcoal man,
he was just like me...
unique.
