It Almost Worked

Everyone looks the same in this town
You can hardly tell the difference
She stayed at home and figured out how
To will herself out of existence
She gave it a try
She closed her eyes
She didn’t know how it’d feel
She just hoped that it wouldn’t hurt
It almost worked
They lie right to your face in this town
But what did you expect
She wishes that she could have seen what they saw
That left them so unimpressed
So she gave it a try
She started to cry
She said to herself, «Well, at least it could have been worse»
And it almost worked
