I am sick of ****** jobs With **** poor wages I am sick of working hard And not being rewarded I'm sick of sadistic managers Always breathing down my neck I am sick of drinking cheap beer Because that's all I can afford I'm sick of making a tank of gas Last for 2 weeks I'm sick of having holes in my pants But I can't afford a new pair Capitalism makes me sick

I am the epitome of misery This heart break heavy on my mind So pour me another drink To get me through the night But the morning hurts just the same

It is 4:30 in the morning and I miss you. I have just driven home from work and parked in the driveway. I look around the yard and even in the dark the memories all come back to me. I leave the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the radio to drown out the noise in my head But it's the song we always listened to while we were driving. A single tear runs down my face and I wipe it away. As I get out of the car and walk to the house, it's drizzling out. The annoying cat, the one that you love and I hate, is sitting out in the rain meowing. He is pathetic. But then again, so am I. I pick him up and carry him inside with me Because I think you'd like that. I sit up drinking even though I'm tired Because I know I have nothing to look forward to tomorrow since you've been gone

Scar Tissue
Loving you Was the worst mistake I ever made Along with believing you When you said you loved me too Because you're a ******* crazy mess And you only love yourself I treated you like gold You treated me like a cigarette; just used me and threw me away I called you princess You made me cry myself to sleep You broke me into a million pieces And then acted like the victim I loved you more than myself But you treated your dogs better than me I did everything for you You lied to me and wouldn't see me; not even on my birthday Then yelled at me and cried when I didn't want to talk to you And after all this And so, so much more You wonder why I hate you? You expect me to forgive you AGAIN? You say you've changed but you said that last time and the time before You say you love me, but you're a ******* liar You only love yourself

These scars on my body These scars on my soul My lungs black as coal And my liver like swiss cheese I am the definition of self hate ***********

Self Hatred ***********
With every drink I feel more alone And the more the cigarette burns on my arm Look like kisses Cigarette kisses Hating everyone, hating myself With a heart as black as my lungs With only my drink and My cigarette kisses for company These burns on my arm That I call sweet kisses Feel like love So bittersweet and so painful

Cigarette Kisses
Told I’m everything I’m still not enough Just another disappointment That’s all I’ll ever be Will you make room in your heart For the both of us My heart is full of you I don’t need to love myself, only you I try my hardest Still I fail Am I worthy of you? I guess I’ll never be

Worthless
Welcome to America The land of the free And the home of the sane Here in America There isn’t much to see Unless you’re in the clutches of insanity and pain Uncle Sam is watching Step out of line You get a bullet in the head All to protect Uncle Sam Bow to him and everything will be fine The time is coming Uncle Sam will face trial by fire Anarchy will reign It is coming We the insane will rise And burn Uncle Sam on his funeral pyre To put an end to the people’s pain

America
Alone in a dark room The walls painted black No doors, no windows, just a revolver in hand Oh god, it’s all in my head Time to play A little Russian Roulette Barrel to temple A pull of the trigger Nothing. Better luck next time! Time to try again Dull click How cruel this game is Once again, pull the trigger Am I still alive? Why? Oh why, isn’t it my time? Begging, praying I try again BANG My prayers have been answered

Suicide
There are my demons They revel in my flesh Symbolic fiery beacons Born from my angry, heartbroken mesh No one can see the real me But I just see myself A dark man full of spiritual debris In a bad state of mental health I might be considered insane But it’s really not me They don’t really have a name It’s the demons that reside in me explicitly There are my demons Filling me with rage, sorrow and gluttony Burning internal heathens That bring out the evil in me But that’s what keeps me breathin’
