Did mummy say you’re special?
Did daddy say you’ll be big someday?
Did they feed you delusions with your afternoon tea?
And teach you how to be
another pawn in the game?

Dead heroes and dead celebrities
Blaze through a death of innocence.
Now mommy and daddy aren’t here no more,
and you’re more alone than you were before.

They tried to teach you and teach you well,
but you were raised on a loss of fun.
Ain’t what you were supposed to be.

Sadness overglows your hardening heart.
What was open has now closed.
