In a state of disrepair...

There's more hurt than I can say
It just doesn't seem to fade
every single twist of pain
All the same
      the same
       the same
         I claim

The words you feed me freely
naming black sheep of the family
that highest honour falls to me

Obssesed with scar tissue
and who scarred who
Obssessing over track marks
and who pricked who

The genius becomes the fool
it's not my fault you
over estimated my IQ

One thing I have to say to you
The little boy you knew
doesn't live here anymore

He chose to fail
let go of the rails
to be a cautionary tale
It's a game
   a game
a game
we play
and I pay
and pay
and pay
you play

"They will plunder all your dreams
And take away your teddy bear... "
