up until today
i always had a feeling
that everything i do is wrong
so ill play stupid
ill play along
and call me naive
to believe
all ive got is a pack of cigarettes
and an ounce of dignity
to keep me strong
i must be wrong
and up until today
i always had a feeling
that support would always feel better,
than a stab to the back
and maybe ill always hold true-
to that feeling, of all things.
so daddy, tell me im a piece of shit again
and the only teacher whose earned my respect
please remind me
i only get worse. progressively worse
and mommy, please stand silent-
to keep me afloat
and best friend of all friends
please find me in a buried secret, so you can leave with no regret
for your stabs to the back
will only keep me believing-
i am right
regardless of how many times you must remind me otherwise
it wasnt up until today
that i realized
id never be too old to be nurtured
so please forgive me,
i was foolish to have thought your wrong
and it wasnt until today
that i finally acknowledged
id rather talk to you through a box
because i can click you off-
when it gets to be a bit too much
so yell at me. just yell at me
and find satisfaction as i aid in your improvement
while i fail, again and again
id be better off alone
but you cant make it on your own
so ill sit here. just sit here
while you forever lean on my shoulder
because
I need you,
you still tell yourself that, right?
