lyrics

She follows me
the self-appointed guardian of my desecration
feeding off old wounds and hoping that they’ll fester
so I’ll finally learn my lesson this time.

“I keep telling you,” she says,
running close behind,
her breath bearing down on the edges of my shadow
as she says what she always says.

“Nobody wants to hear your story,
your awkward cries for attention
that bounce off the walls of this self-centered box you’ve made.

What makes you think that you’re worthy of love
of respect, or even self-affirming confidence?

You don’t share enough, but you share way too much
and your thoughts are too stupid to matter in a world that doesn’t care about you anyway.

You’re obviously not doing a good job at anything
and nobody cares what you do anyway.

You need way too much
and you don’t give enough
How unfortunate that your talent falls short
of the price people pay for admission into this world.

Because even your desire for acceptance
is a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure.”

I keep walking anyway.

I keep walking anyway.
