Feel Much Better
you only rear your ugly head
when I'm hurt
guess it's true
I can count on you
to let me down
cannon fodder
so dishonored
keep pretending
tip toeing around the truth
like shards of glass
got me offended
tell me you're just pretending
maybe I'll still have some respect for you
said you wouldn't hurt me
but you did
said you'll come around
but you didn't
people like you make me wish I was dead
hate every day but I got responsibilities
still a man can dream, can't he?
lost my faith in humanity
praying for an answer
God dammit, he got none
a moment of kindness
is all I'm asking
a savior
I tried to be that to others
and it got me nowhere
maybe we're all just a little broken
not like that makes me feel much better
