lyrics

was once so green and naive, arteries spilled down my sleeve. when they were laughing at me, thought they were laughing with me. and from birth to the hearse, though we all go to the same place, for some it just keeps getting worse. broken blood vessels surrounding eyes. my smile may never touch them again. thus, my smile is just another lie. they beat it out of me, so now i just pretend. once danced without looking up, once danced without looking back. now i stand stock still, just waiting for a sneak attack. and they were looking at me, and they were staring at me. now wherever i go, i find an adversary. no, i'm not well but i'm certainly done. it was all decided before i'd begun. all the rest is just bland formality, feigning politeness by hiding all my misery. yeah, they beat it out of me.
