I searched for what I was missing Discovered something else instead It certainly filled the hole inside Filled me up with lead Now I've adapted different versions Of the face I wear each day It's hard to tell the truth apart From the broken lies I say Tried to **** the sadness Looking for a cure But I murdered more than intended Which parts I am not sure Past lingered like cheap perfume I couldn't stand the smell So I doused myself in gasoline It seems it burned a little too well Have I overdone it? Invading every pore Every cell in my body rearranged At least Im not like I was before

Something Else
I searched for what I was missing Discovered something else instead It certainly filled the hole inside Filled me up with lead Now I've adapted different versions Of the face I wear each day It's hard to tell the truth apart From the broken lies I say Tried to **** the sadness Looking for a cure But I murdered more than intended Which parts I am not sure Past lingered like cheap perfume I couldn't stand the smell So I doused myself in gasoline It seems it burned a little too well Have I overdone it? Invading every pore Every cell in my body rearranged At least Im not like I was before
I cut off too much of myself and now I'm more incomplete than ever
