Perhaps I’m spending too much time looking for something that isn’t there Listening to the voices while sitting in my underwear And sipping on coffee, smoking cheap tobacco Perhaps I’m ignoring the things I already know
Accusing me blatantly of robbing your youth But you gave it freely… Don’t you remember? Instead I sit like a parasite suckling on the blood of your childhood And use it to fuel my own childlike lust forever
The bitter taste of it matches my brew So much that I sugar coat it with fantasy Of whom I am and what I’ve done to deserve this Instead of opening my eyes to see what I haven’t done to avoid it…
You’re so perfect in your very being That I have no hope in it making sense You show me each and every one of my flaws Through the super-powers of your very existence
I’m withering inside with your expectations of me Your property, your servant, your trophy Sitting on the shelf with the rest of your glories A supporting actor in your very own life story
