[hometext] => what can I say?
[bodytext] => Dislike of this life What can I say? I’ve screwed it up I’ve made it this way What’s left to do But lie in my grave? I dug it; perfected it What can I say? That I created this, This monster Take the plunge into abyss Fire encompasses my body My imperfections Courtesy of this magnifying glass Burn as fast as my clothes This purgatory Has become my Heaven For it perfects me Lowers my standards But this is only me wishing For things to get better Put on this mask of a smile As a single tear falls from my face Puts out the fire Brings back the cotton and lace My dreams and what I aspire It takes me back to “me” Gives me a sucker punch; Socks me back to reality Don’t let me wake up I’d be happy: If I couldn’t clearly see I’d be happy: If I was more than people around me I’d be happy: If I weren’t me Too sad, too late I’ve done it again What can I say?
