Did you hurt yourself again?
Does your heart still bleed?
You’ll be forever remembered in every way
Why don’t you fade away?
It binds you and hides the bane
It’s no skin off your back, you’re respectfully the same
You’re wicked, the dog of the sun
Pull that face off
What were you thinking of?
Bruised at recess, perfect defect, unnamed
Sweet talking gem, you’re controlled by the rats in your brain
Safe with your mother, big brother, they’re so fond of you
Just learned to kneel to their voices or when spoken to
Sell the garbage and the crap you say
You make the same mistakes, repeated
You’re all of God’s faces
Every day’s the same with you
Don’t care to help you in any way
Swollen, go back to the nest where you purge
And remind me to forget you
Exception to the rule when they call
You like to keep pictures of friends off your wall
You keep your dollhouse clean, your stick and your badge
Blessed by thousands you big man, you wanted the fame
You got it, so have it
You want it, you got it.
