Glitch In Your Matrix

Just because I found you broken doesn’t mean I have to fix you.
I’m so tired of that shit. I’m not a hero. I’m not your savior.
I’m broken, too. I’m broken, too.

She got all your good parts
And destroyed all the rest.
Now I’m here dealing with all your bad parts
Getting lost in all this mess.

I get the sad the angry guy
The bitter the tainted droll.
And I don’t care I’m not going nowhere
Not while I’m drowning in this hole

Of misery and despair hatred and regret
Floating around my head.
I am about to be buried alive
In everything in you that’s dead.

I’m still trying to climb out of my dark tunnel
I can’t take on your demons, too.
Wait. Here’s a piece of your heart I found on the floor.
Now all’s I need is some glue.

And though my dignity has been trampled over My pride shoved down my throat
My self-worth is stuck to the bottom of your Vans,
And as for my heart, well hearts don’t float.

Despite my badges of valour I wore proudly all day and night
I am now stripped of the few things that crowned me
I guess I lost that fight.

But look I put you back together.
Man, you’re as good as gold.
I never meant to fix you
But I couldn’t leave you out in the cold

Now that you’re back to your old awesome self
Please don’t forget me down here
I stayed by your side through all of the bad
I wiped away your every tear

And I was glad to do it
Because I know your worth I know who you are
What? You’ll be right back? Ok.
Just please don’t go too far.....

You never came back for me.
You left me there to die.
Naked. Alone. Stripped of my goodness.
And you never even said goodbye.

Well I finally made it out.
It took nearly every thing I had
I put myself back together
The good with ALL the bad.

You might have stripped me of my dignity, my pride, and my heart.
For your matrix had a glitch.
Cuz you forgot I had one thing you NEVER did.
And that’s a SOUL, you sonofabitch.

They get torn down, and I keep building em back up.

Then they leave and take everything with em that I gave them.
