Your grin is weak and your eyes are dying,
You've painted your face and given up trying,
To find your place in this world so poor,
This is not your time to find what's in store.

Your mother helped you the best she could,
Your father left you like we knew he would,
Your sister said you need to be strong,
But none of them ever knew what was wrong.

Your friends all use you for their own good,
To make them laugh as you're drenched in blood,
Your girlfriend left as you weren't a man,
You're a broken toy without a plan.

You saw your heroes burning in hell,
With ones and zeroes you've nothing to sell,
But all is lost including your mind,
And you follow the moral that life ain't kind.

Your king betrayed you I'm not surprised,
He left you clueless and ill advised,
Life is a party: you're not invited,
So when the sun goes down don't get excited.

This isn't the end, nor the beginning,
You just need a friend to tell you you're winning,
This little game you've made in your room,
Called forget your fate and swallow your doom.
