Born with no hope, I gotta keep going
Filthy, but want to be a sweet poem
With beat poetry built-in, straddling two
Flounder a cue, be accidentally rude because jack of 'em knew
And as for you, you should shut up or this'll happen to you
I know I'm a fuckin' ruler, quit talkin' back it ain't true
Your lacking half will keep you captive with the gas it consume
Cores unable to cooperate on the Athlon X2
The hot burners in the memory continue to pile
Immunify, godspeed, get up and give 'em a smile
I'm empty inside, long as I got distractions I'm laughing
I can't allow myself to be reminded of a medical file
I meant it, my very anger is evidence
And there I go, I'm taking a swing at chemical cabinets
Vapid, ephemeral, never get down with the cynical
It's an inner death, so fuckin' what if it ain't physical
You spit misery with every syllable
I split vision, and every single hit is a critical
I keep hearing that shit is not all sunshine and marigolds
But you never say it's ANY amount sunshine and marigolds
You act smug at a family reunion
And talk about how much you know 'bout how humanity's doomed
And I love you and all, but I don't understand how you're still breathing
It's like you think you're better than me cause you're more beaten

(Break)

I said I would always be better
And never let up or let a lover trip me up
And fulfill the bets of the elders
I'm stepping on embers
Stickin' my neck in Black & Deckers
In fact I'm an anxious wreck romantic, so heaven help us
I am the intelligent, level and diligent
Sever the sexual, till the day I die I'll be innocent
Keep your mouth shut, never sing or cry or express a feeling
They don't wanna hear it and you don't know what you're saying
Sensitive, yes, sue me, that's why I'm embarrassed I loved it
Honeymoon period, the thing I always swear I'm above
And it meant something to me, 2012
The story, just let me tell
My birthday in 2013, it sent me to hell
Bruised and landed with a thud on my back
At the bottom of a dusty valley
What the fuck happened to love and happiness?
Can't be rejecting advances of everyone?
I just shun them across the gamut
Simply won't have it, I've had it
I swung for the fences, I pump my defences
I'm gonna take the rest of this drug into my loving senses
And pummel 'em senseless
I am hurt, and I ain't fooled by your fibbing
You are too, but the difference from you is that I admit it
You cowards

(Break)

I stand with a box of matches in the promised land, burning the feast
"Tu es la Vierge Marie? Ah, tu as jeûné à six"
The burden police lurking, to speak further
They're working to take the heat straight to beat murderers
Speaking the truth, it ain't my fault if you're afraid of it
You know where the road is going, you might as well fuckin' straighten it
I repent for the hate, I repent for the smug debasement
I'd smothered my pain, and took it out on the ones at the base
Of the pecking order, I hereby elevate you to General's quarters
To me, you're the heroes, you're the ones who are bending the borders
Remember the chorus, it's long, but it bends toward it
Let's stitch from the corners and quit the torture and end the horrors
Because...
The born-as-the-broken are more than potent
Dispense with the notion of thinking you're morally cogent
You're groping at slogans and hoping that'll cloak you from having
To cope with your foe, because now the broken souls have awoken
