Etch A Sketch: Malfunctioning
Broken behind thickened bones
Skin like etch a sketch
couldn't leave sharp alone
Blackened ego strung
from high to low
Self-esteem is only so-so
Just wanna be numb
Countless errors
in my own way
Doing favors
from day to day
Heartless errands
People beggin' me to stay
"I gotta get outta here"
is all I could say
I'm malfunctioning
and reminded everyday
Skin like etch a sketch
couldn't leave sharp alone
Blackened ego strung
from high to low
Self-esteem is only so-so
Just wanna be numb
Countless errors
in my own way
Doing favors
from day to day
Heartless errands
People beggin' me to stay
"I gotta get outta here"
is all I could say
I'm malfunctioning
and reminded everyday

The very last line, "and I'm reminded everyday" just seems to not fit, the wording of the line I mean. Maybe take out the I'm?
