I'm just here to put on an act
A song and dance until my friends are draped in black
Eyes gazing, it's like pornography
You're not my friend, you're not my enemy
Stay away, stay far away
The futures looking bleak, kid
Stay inside, don't spend your time
Rotting on the outside
I'm sick of the wasted time
The best that I can be
A bastard waits for no one
Drenched in poor man's apathy
You look to the surface
A moment just to breathe
The waves will keep you under
Until you drown in agony
I feel sick, I wish it was contagious
Bed ridden, paranoid, and losing patience
Words escape me, this is hopeless
Line a casket for the soulless
I feel sick
Can't afford the medicine
Can't escape my body
Sinking feeling is setting in
I feel sick
Embalming reeks of sin
I think I'm gonna sleep awhile
Hold it in
Stay away
Stay away from me
Leave me nothing
Bastard
