they will say "no",
     when they should say "yes."
there's been a mistake,  
there's been a manufacturing error.
they made me an empty vessel,
and they sent me down the line.

and it's making me so tired.
I can't spend all my time in search of genuine,
there's none of that left.

not now, not anymore, and maybe not ever at all.
and it hurts me.

so tonight like any other night,
or like no other night at all,
I never thought what I might've lost
when I stopped and gained composure.

just as well.
because now I know it's gone.
