You're such a good ******** detector
But I'm the one that's defective
I can't tell if you're an ally
Or an undercover detective
Cause around these parts
The air is toxic
It's **** or be killed
With a dash of pretzel logic
All we've ever known was apathy
And all we've ever felt was confused
So we popped pills and hit the bottle
Using to avoid feeling used
But you're an artist
You make up stories
I can't tell if I fascinate you
Or if you find me boring
I don't want to be a prop
To occupy your hours
I don't want to be your pet
With you holding all the power
Most of all, I don't want to be manipulated
By the impulses of those that whisper in your ear
I just want friendship reciprocated
I need words that are sincere
So please excuse my insecurities
But you knew what you were getting into
I'm the fragile, broken cargo
Of a bird that never flew
