Leave me alone in this hopeless world
You can't make diamonds out of pearls
I'm never second best, not first, just dead last
Buying my time that slowly passes away
Don't look at me, I failed you in everything
Breaking what meant the most while people just laughed
All you failed at floats to the top
Showing your weakness and your fault
Give me some hope that I can do something right
Not that all I can do is waste my life
Pollute time and air like I'm the reason it's all going to hell
Waste of skin, of flesh and bone
This empty shell that's all I've known
The closest thing to a real home I've had
Show me a reason to stay in this place
Something that's not easily thrown away
That's all I ask, a reason to live
Something real to hold on to
Someone to accept me for what people reject
An open door to welcome what's left
Where I stand all the doors are closed
This is the view I'm always shown
An outsider looking in
A window, tinted and deformed
From your twisted view of the world
Unlock the door, open up
Show me one person cares enough
To let an outcast be cast in for once
Before the world is completely undone
Give me something I won't forget
Before I'm completely forgotten.
