Somehow lost again in the dark,
In a place where I am the meat,
And life is the shark.
This skin just tastes so savory.
You don't understand so don't even try.
I stand here with dirty fingernails,
And tears in my eyes.
Does somebody need to fix me now?
I pour my sorrow out the only way I can,
in broken words and depressing songs,
and by kissing many men.
So what am I now?
Am I a constant reminder that emotions bleed?
Am I all the things you thought I would be?
Will you save me as I try to feed these senseless needs,
With the sounds of a pain that won’t go away.
Freedom is the ability to have choices,
so I must be a slave,
who listens to the voices,
Because they promised they would make it all okay…
…but that was just another lie,
wasn’t it?
