You've got a lot of heart, kid It's just on the wrong side of the line You've got a bit of soul too, It's just hanging by your side In a basket you rejected at 13 Hoping no one would ever see it Under the 6 wool blankets you believed into existence You stole them from the supermarket Down the street Threw them in a bag of rocks and switchblades You collected with your friends And with your hate It all leads down a sunlit trail To a point on the clock where the second hand determines your death, and if it stops, so do you. But can you tell me, Is it worth it?
