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
