We're all ******* up In our own special way So when you tell me this pain makes me special I'll tell you I'm ill I'll tell you that every day My ribs feel like collapsing Because my chest is not strong enough To take the daily beating I'll tell you that fighting Fire with fire has formed embers Within that torch my soul I am burned out And as the demons Take up residence in my mind My thoughts are evicted Until there's nothing left behind Each capillary sliced gifts thousands of Red flags waving their condolences As I search for a white handkerchief to Wave in reply I'm not unique Because so many others hurt just the same I don't want to leave But I hurt when I stay We're all ******* up In our own special way
